Sommelier’s Tasting Profile

• Visual: Intense, deep purple-red hue.
• Aroma: Rich black fruit aromas of plum and blackcurrant dominate, supported by complex tertiary notes of spice, cedar, vanilla, and a distinctive touch of leafy earthiness typical of fine Carmenere.
• Taste: A full-bodied palate with a velvety texture and a long, persistent finish. The fruit is dense, balanced by fine-grained tannins and a refreshing acidity that makes it a superb food wine.

Serving & Food Matching

To fully appreciate its depth, serve between 16-18°C. This wine’s structure makes it an excellent partner for classic British fare that features rich, slow-cooked meats.

• Food Matches: Braised Lamb Shanks with Rosemary, Traditional Cottage Pie, Roast Beef with all the trimmings.
