Sweet dried cherry leads a savoury, aromatic profile, joined by mint, tobacco and sage. The palate is ethereal and finely drawn, with fresh acidity and a gentle tannic frame keeping the fruit lifted. Herbal detail and cool mineral tension bring depth without heaviness, while the finish remains persistent and composed. Serve with roast chicken, grilled salmon, mushroom dishes or pork tenderloin with herbs.

Fragrance and freshness keep the wine lifted despite its savoury depth. The finish is long and composed, leaving berry fruit, dried herbs, forest floor and a quiet mineral trace.

Dark spice and a savoury mineral edge add depth through the centre, while fine-grained tannins provide a polished, controlled frame. The finish is long and clean, balancing berry richness with earthy spice and steady freshness.
