Hand-picked fruit from 3 vineyards, each parcel kept separate. Crushed and destemmed. Racked off gross lees and into barrel for mlf and maturation in French barriques (28% new). Contains a powerful fruit component from ancient Cambrian soil, which helps explain the generosity, energy and textural intrigue in this wine. Packed with blackberry, dark chocolate and dried herbs. Rolls out across the palate with an earthy warmth and fine tannic edge. One to age.

Black cherry in colour. Shaved dark chocolate, wild fennel, mulberries and earth are all evident on the nose. Hints of custard and blackberry vines.
Caramelised beetroot with hints of sweet balsamic vinegar and mulberry jam dominate the palate. A beautifully integrated and complex wine. Excellent balance with fine lingering linear tannin.
