Ripe red plum and black cherry with hints of blackcurrant, soft vanilla spice and gentle earth. Medium-bodied, fruit-forward, smooth with supple tannins and a pleasant, easy finish.

Western: roast lamb, beef stew, grilled sausages, charcuterie and semi-hard cheeses. Asian: Peking duck, char siu, beef stir-fries (black pepper/soy), Korean BBQ, mushroom hot pot.

Conventional Bordeaux vinification: fermentation in stainless steel or small vats with gentle pump-overs; short ageing in neutral or seasoned oak to add texture.
