Shop Review: 
This aromatic wine shows lifted flavours of blackcurrant with underlying notes of wet stone and thyme. The palate is elegant yet full with sufficient weight and texture, balanced by a flinty minerality. This wine is a fantastic match with foods such as cheese salad, poultry dishes and a wide range of seafood dishes including freshly shucked natural oysters, prawns, green lip mussels and creamy scallops.

Tasting Review: Interesting. Overwhelmingly green pepper on the nose. with a zesty grassy, herbaceous mid palate and a long tart acidic finish.
