2024 FE Red

Colour Deep ruby red with purple hues.

Nose Enticingly aromatic across a wide spectrum of fruit characters. Rich black cherry and blackberry lead the way, supported by notes of redcurrant, blueberry and African violet. Alluring hints of vanilla bean and cacao nib add depth and a luxurious nature.

Palate Medium-bodied with a fine tannin structure and a crunchy acid line that lends freshness and finesse. Red fruits—redcurrant and hints of cranberry—present early, with white spice through the mid-palate complementing the fresh acid zing. On the back palate, blackberry and plum come alive, with both fruit and white pepper persisting long into the finish.

12 months maturation in seasoned French oak barriques with a dash of new oak.
