Allee Bleue Cape Ruby 2021

Intense aromas of cherries, ripe plums and Christmas pudding. Well supported by rich vanilla, liquorice and an intriguing spiciness. A truly complex and layered wine which will age beautifully over the next 5-8 years.

This wine is ideal for any rich decadent chocolate desert or any other of its sinful friends. Also great with some of our fantastic local cheeses and preserves.
