"Sappy, kelp-like aromas intermingle with white pepper and fennel herbs. Spicy and energetic with very fine tannins. Rosehip and plum, sweetly fruited with a long, velvety finish."

"Strawberries, mixed peppercorns and wild herbs on the nose of this peppery red. It,s medium-bodied, savory and juicy. Supple tannins. 67% syrah, 19% mourvedre, 9% grenache and 5% tourga nacional. From organically grown grapes. Sustainable. Drink now."

"Lavender, rooibos tea and spices accent this red, grounded in a core of cherry and currant. Slender in body yet structured, this firms up with gravelly tannins on the finish, lending impressive presence. Syrah, Mourvèdre, Grenache and Touriga Nacional. Drink now through 2032.-A.N."

"Lustrous crimson. Exceptionally well-mannered blend that's very appetising without an excess of anything. Just pure fruit. No point in cellaring it for too long. VGV (JR)"
