Brampton OVR 2006

Upfront spice of cloves and nutmeg are complemented by ripe, red fruit aromatics – raspberries and strawberries dominate. The palate is well constructed in this medium bodied wine. Aromas follow through to the palate where they integrate beautifully with subtle, dark chocolate and oak spice flavours. Characteristically low SO² levels as demanded by the Brampton range of wines.
