Foot-trodden grapes followed by 24 months ageing in old French oak barrels. An elegant northern Rhone-ish style Syrah, supple and plush but built to last. Perfumed red berry nose with peppery, smoky notes. Ripe and fleshy on the palate, with lovely purity of crushed red berry and fresh plummy fruit leading to a long, savoury, structured finish.

Enjoy with shoulder of pork or spring lamb.
