Gary Walsh, (Vintage 2021)

No mistaking this for anything other than Northern Rhone! Incredibly vivid purple colour also of note. Fresh blackberry, charcuterie, black pepper, dried herbs and flowers. It’s medium-bodied, firm almost frisky ‘glassy’ acidity, smoky and meaty, crushed rocks, distinctly tangy, but encased in boysenberry and fresh picked blackberry. Vibrant. Tight and slate-y to close. You have to like them gamey and spicy, but excellent wine here, in that sort of style.

April 2023 (Vintage 2021)

A seductive nose of blueberries, freshly ground black pepper and violets. Medium body with sleek tannins and crisp acidity. Succulent with a sour cherry character on the palate and a fruity, juicy finish with peppery notes.
