"Aromas of soft black currant flash then dark plum and five spice. The bottle development has layered in some complexity and aromatic enticement. Quite lovely on the palate - there’s a point of difference here with a mix o red berry fruits and spices as well as a clay spice mineral quality. Tannins are integrating well and acidity holding all the components together delivering a complete mouthfeel and gentle saline note.

"Savoury syrah with roasted chestnut, charcuterie, cassis, Bovril, violet and dried herb flavours. Medium-bodied red that is vinous rather than fruity. Accessible wine that cleverly balances alcohol sweetness against ripe tannins and mellow acidity" Bob Campbell, Master of Wine, Real Review, Apr 2023
"An attractive bouquet of red fruits and plum flesh, there’s a fine layer of sandy clay soil with fruit-spices and a touch of smoky wood for complexity and charm. An easy drinking wine on the palate with fruit flavours that reflect the bouquet from plum to black currant, then spices of fruit and oak. Tannins and acidity layer on mouthfeel and texture and with the oak flavours present a charming and easy to drink wine. Will be great with food.

"Supple, accessible primitivo (better known as zinfandel in the US although it is originally from Croatia) with typical blueberry, blackcurrant compote, vanilla and violet flavours. Ready to drink but no rush" Bob Campbell, Master of Wine, Real Review, Apr 2023
Primitivo is a dark-skinned grape known for producing inky, opulent, full-bodied, wines with ripe blueberry/black cherry characters with hints of Mediterranean vegetation and powerful but well-rounded tannins. It is a fantastic match for red meat and strong cheeses and offers more flavour for your dollar than virtually any other wine on the market.
