Medium crimson-red hue. This wine is bright and chirpy, brimming with Satsuma plums and blueberries, complemented by subtle notes of rose petals. It’s a fresh and approachable young red, perfect for a summer’s day. Serve it slightly chilled to enjoy the warm summer fruits. It’s medium-bodied with a clean and refreshing finish. Vintage 2023 was a very cool, long vintage. Summer rainfall set the vines up well. The weather remained cool throughout vintage, resulted in wines that have lovely balance and flavour.
