The intense fragrance of wild and blackberries is contrasted by a nuance of graphite and wet stones. It’s velvety smooth and full-bodied with a dense wave of tart. The flavour is dry, full and mellow with surprising finesse, elegance and length.
It is completely dry with approximately 14%vol alcohol produced from natural sugar from grapes.
