Pale straw-gold with platinum highlights, impressive for its silken lustre. In the nose, a juicy mix of mirabelle plums and honeydew melon with a subtle hint of spring blossoms, but also some smokiness. Later on, hints of orange zest, blossom honey and ripe apples appear. On the palate, the wine is characterised by rich creaminess, carried by fresh acidity and sheltering a core of sweet fruit, which describes a lovely arc from lemon fruit, to yellow apples, on to fresh pineapple. In the long finish, there's a very persistent impression of blossom honey and white pepper. "Producer's Notes"

Inky purple red with a silky mouth-filling texture, its aromas consist of ripe plums, spiced dark cocoa, coffee, toasted nuts and earthy tones. Great structure with long and velvety finish. Ideal for roasted and grilled red meats, game, aged cheeses. "Producer Tasting Notes"
