Grassiness, nettles, gooseberry, and mineral overtones on the nose. Crisp acidity, plenty of fruit, and medium-bodied. Lingering aftertaste. Incredible value - perfect for hot summer days.

Mint, prunes, lead pencil shavings, and herbs on the nose. There is plenty of ripe fruit, soft tannins, and lots of complexity in this wine. It is very well balanced and is medium-to-full bodied. Exceptional value.

Plums, chocolate, vanilla, and some dustiness on the nose. The wine is medium-to-full bodied and the tannins is still somewhat harsh. Dried fruit flavours on the palate and a lingering finish that includes liquorice flavours.
