“amazingly complex, heady with spices”

The gnarly old vines that produced the fruit for this wine were planted over 60 years ago. A savoury Grenache style it offers a myriad of spice aromas – including white pepper, cardamom and orange peel along with lifted pure raspberry fruit. The medium weight palate is dry with a fine interplay between the bright berry fruit, exotic spices and dusty tannins. This is a seriously complex wine with impressive length of flavour. It deserves a spell in the cellar or a couple of hours in a decanter before serving.

�tar and redfruit aromas and plenty of tannin�

Nebbiolo makes the famous, long lived wines of Barolo and Barbaresco in Italy�s Piedmont region. This example offer typical aromas of tar and floral red fruits before a medium weight palate with a core of sweet red fruit and heaps of dry tannins to finish. Definitely a wine for food � such as a rustic dish of pork and polenta or a top shelf kebab.
