Vibrant crimson with ruby hue. Bright cranberry and plum aromas evolve in the glass revealing a lifted, sweet perfume of pomegranate, blood orange and exotic spices. The palate is supple and lithe with plush, velvet tannins carrying waves of bright raspberry and dark cherry flavours with a fine thread of acidity weaving everything together.

"A very dry winter led into a wet spring, which allowed for great bud burst and canopy growth. A cool vintage with high wind saw low yields producing fruit with incredible intensity of flavour and colour.

Fruit from the famed Lowestoft Vineyard was hand-picked and fermented in 1T open-top fermenters, with up to 50% whole bunch inclusion. Gently hand plunged as required throughout fermentation, with gentle pressing to tank post MLF. Ten months maturation in large format French oak (25% new) before careful blending and bottling with minimal additions. Enticing amaro and exotic spice unfold layers of red berry fruit, sage leaf and wild thyme A richly structured palate with cherry fruit, dried cranberry and wet earth surround a mineral core, with vivacious juicy acidity flowing through the palate. A savoury, mineral edge bridges complexity with vibrancy."
