Drinking Window: 2023 - 2027
A delicious new listing for M&S that shows England can make quality red wines as well as whites and sparklings. The warm 2022 summer helped, meaning there's real generosity to the silky-textured rose petal and chai-spiced red cherry palate. The ripe fruit fleshes out a bone-dry, softly tannic frame, slaked with mouthwatering acidity.
