Fresh, stylish, balance.
A flagship variety for Tinhorn, they do well by it. This vintage it offers fresh red plum aromas with currants, roasted red bell peppers, licorice, toasted spice vanilla and dried herbs. It is a stylish wine with a smooth entry. Flavours of red fruit, bittersweet cocoa, spice and leather are underscored by a saline character. It has some textural tannic structure to lend it a chewiness and overall great balance.
Pair: Hearty pastas with tomato ragu, game meats or bean chili.
