Tasting Notes
Colour
Warm deep amber with coppery highlights and a subtle ruby glow.
Nose
On the nose, honeyed apricot and ripe fig mingle with a sweet balsamic lift. With a splash of water, sun-warmed nectarine and fresh strawberries emerge, cloaked in thick clotted cream for a creamy, orchard-brimming aroma.
Palate
Powerful, velvety palate delivering ripe stone fruit and red berry sweetness. Honeyed apricot and sun-warmed nectarine mingle with fig and a Pinot Noir-driven depth. Rich, creamy texture with subtle spice, leading to a long, warming finish that echoes fruit and a touch of clotted-cream richness.
Finish
Long, warming finish with sun-warmed stone fruits—nectarine and strawberry—lingering beside wine-kissed tannins. Honeyed apricot and fig drift in, a whisper of balsamic sweetness, then creamy, clotted-cream richness fades to a warm, spicy echo.
