Drinking Window: 2018 - 2020
From 50-year-old vines, this undergoes semi-carbonic maceration and is aged in old wood for five months. It has a really creamy, confected red fruit aroma with a rice pudding richness. In the mouth this has soft red fruits joined by a sweet, slightly funky note of apple and cinnamon.
