Impressive amounts of game and wet soil flash across the nose on this bottling at first, before the pepper, plum and pomegranate elements fill in. The palate is equally complex, showing more game and soil as well as thyme, peppercorns, rich strawberry and tart cranberry on the finish.

Cranberry, hibiscus and rosewater converge on the soft, plush nose of this bottling, which also shows hints of star anise and baked goods. It’s a light and playful wine on the sip, where juicy raspberries meet with gravelly minerality. This is light, fresh and full of long, simmering acidity.
