A bouquet of vanilla, almond, iodine and sea breeze sets the stage for flavors of peach, licorice and cinnamon. This wine is elegant and smooth in the mouth and offers a sense of warming the insides of the cheeks.

Golden brown and very expressive on the nose with hazelnut, golden syrup and mixed peel. Lovely tamarind sourness to the finish, very savoury, mushroom sauce finish.
