The nose opens with lifted aromas of wild cherry, redcurrant and dried thyme, underpinned by hints of rose petal and subtle oak spice. On the palate, fine-grained tannins frame a core of vibrant red fruit, complemented by savoury undertones and a touch of earthiness from the whole bunch inclusion. A cold soak and extended post-ferment maceration have contributed depth of colour and a silky, layered texture, while 12 months in French oak lends structure and finesse. Bottled unfiltered, this wine is pure, expressive and built to evolve gracefully over time.
