An initial impression revealed predominantly floral and violet notes. They were joined by fruit, cherry and berry characters, while on the finish there was spice and a suggestion of hazelnut. An elegant wine with an appealing supple, fine-grained texture.13 JAN 2022 Drink 2022–2027

In winemaking it would be true to say… that great fruit makes great wine. Therefore, being able to source consistently ripe, concentrated fruit (from vintage to vintage) is key. We are now in the fortunate position of being able to source fruit from our own family vineyards as well as from some very special friends, allowing us to produce for Novum some unique wines.
Deep, ruby-red, with some purple hues. Rich and highly fragrant with dark red berry fruit, dried herb, cigar box and subtle earthy notes. Mouth-filling, generous with a core of ripe cherry, plum and spice flavours, yet savoury too. A wine with great textural interest and detail, opulence but also some seriousness.
