There’s boysenberry, bay leaf and a sprinkle of cinnamon. Blood plums and bucketloads of anise. The palate is dense and fleshy, but without heaviness – this one has pep to her step! Flavours of cassis and forest fruits – so bright and juicy on your palate. So much flavour, but there’s a lick of tannin there to hold it all together. Like smooth pebbles rolling along your tongue carrying all that flavour.

Pairs with Pasta alla norma, in all its gooey eggplanty goodness. Pop some Old School Hives on the stereo, and invite your mates round for a game of monopoly deal.
