The Private Bin label is reserved for specialist, vineyard-selected, limited-edition wines that are hand-made and while classically styled, exhibit prominent fruit flavours.
Cellarmaster Razvan Macici says the wine’s smoky, spicy nose laced with berry opens onto ripe fruit, floral and spicy flavours on the palate, with a subtle presence of oak. Its firm but supple tannins, he says, give the wine excellent maturation potential and it can be expected to hold its own for at least 10 to 12 years.
He recommends serving with it with mildly spicy dishes to echo its own spicy flavours.
