VQA
Deep garnet colour with a brick red rim. The warming bouquet shows aromatic notes of smoky oak, charred wood, spice box, whisky barrel spice, and dark currant. A full-bodied red blend with firm drying tannins. This brooding, deep, complex red wine has flavours of muddled blackberry, coffee bean, and vanilla bean, along with notes of our Red Cask Whisky. Roasted coffee bean, vanilla extract, spicy oak, smoke, cocoa powder, and blackberry notes linger on the extra dry finish.
