This is a cool climate wine from the Alpine/King Valley Region of north east Victoria. Fleshy fruit aromas of ripe plum and fruits of the forest with a hint of vanilla pod, white pepper and savoury spice. This wine is medium bodied with confectionary, dark berry fruit, tobacco leaf, chocolate and spice flavours. Its mid palate fruit generosity is complemented by a dash of grainy, rustic Sangiovese which adds a savoury edge and moreish tannin finish to the final blend. Enjoy now with a bowl of slow cooked Italian beef stew, flavoured with rosemary, sage and pancetta, and served with a side of creamy polenta; or a tomato and eggplant ciambotta.
