Winemaker Notes
A classic blend of three Rhone inspired varieties. The wine exhibits aromas of red liquorice, sweet cherry, nutmeg, cinnamon and provincial herbs flowing onto the palate that is full of juicy red currants and a spicy white pepper tannin finish. Enjoy with peppercorn steak and baked potatoes. Suitable for Vegans and Vegetarians.
