Full bodied Bordeaux style blend. A rich nose of blackberries, wood shavings and sweet rose petals. Well integrated dry tannins with blackcurrant and ripe plum flavours on the palate. It has a long smooth finish with earthy undertones.

Meaty casseroles; grilled or roasted beef and pasta dishes. A delightful companion for most meat dishes.
