Advice

Serving
Serve at room temperature.
Tasting
A lovely wine with a classic profile. Rich blackcurrant characters, brambley acidity and melting tannins make a bracing supporting act at the finish. This red does all it should do, lingering and lasting on the palate, with lively fruit and plenty of structure.
Food pairings
It is the perfect match for easy going food. Try this wine with top quality steak, or rare roast meats like venison or game.
