Rubied plum. Blackcurrant, ripe plums and morello cherries unfold with a fragrant thread of dried herbs, tobacco leaf and subtle oak-spice. Silky on entry, the medium-bodied palate gathers red and black berries around a juicy, plummy core, neatly woven with fine-grained tannins.

The grapes were hand-picked in the cool of early morning and kept in cold rooms overnight before vinification. Primary fermentation took place in 7-ton open-top stainless-steel tanks with intermittent pump-overs and punch downs to ensure that the right flavours, aromas and tannins could be extracted from the berries. After primary fermentation some batches underwent extended maceration, before maturing separately in a combination of old and new French oak barrels.

Silky on entry, the medium-bodied palate gathers red and black berries around a juicy, plummy core, neatly woven with fine-grained tannins. A savoury lick of liquorice and gentle toast lends depth, while bright, red-toned acidity keeps the fruit lifted and fresh. Poised and inviting, the finish lingers with cassis, tea leaf and a delicate graphite edge.
