Ideal with salmon, spicy tomato pastas, light red meats, baked beetroots or a pepperoni pizza.
Expert Reviews & Awards
"A blend of estate and purchased fruit from the Tamar Valley. Bright cherry red in colour with lifted aromas of red cherry, mulberry and raspberry fruits cut through with hints of exotic spice, pressed flowers and notes of game and charcuterie. Quite sweet-fruited with a bright, instantly appealing personality at a great price point." 91 Points (On the 2021 vintage).

Winemaking Notes
Selected batches of Pinot Noir fruit were gently destemmed and placed in small, open-top fermenters. Gentle plunging
and pump over techniques were used, combined with warm fermentations to ensure the retention of bright fresh fruit characters. After pressing, the wine underwent malolactic fermentation in old French oak barriques and stainless steel.
