Herbaceous, rose petal, dried tobacco, black peppercorn. Medium bodied, easy drinking but super interesting!

Drank on 5th Dec 2024 at Plymouth’s Le Vignoble raclette night.
Bright red, centre and rim.
Vanilla on the nose and the mouth, soft and nice.

What can I say? I'm on a Zweigelt kick. It's the perfect grape if it's in the middle of summer and you're wanting a red or something a little heartier than a rosé. This one's good. A little more complexity to it than some of the others I've been drinking. Nice notes of ripe cherry and a bit of pepper. Perfectly appropriate to quaff on while watching RHOOC.

Nice floral and fruity nose. A bit tart on the finish but a pleasure to drink.

Smells of roses, herbs, and earth. Party in your mouth acidity and significantly crisp for a red.
