Drinking Window: 2023 - 2027
Old Garnacha vines in Chile's Maule Valley have excelled themselves here, producing a deliciously complex yet drinkable wine. Delicate notes of wild strawberry and sweet blueberry ebb and flow alongside cassia bark and sweet spice. Juicy acidity is ingrained into the wine, providing a refreshing lift. It lacks a touch of the concentration found in the 2016 vintage, but it's still so moreish and succulent. Member price: £17.99. Non-member price: £27.99.
