The Vibe: Red, organic, dry, carignan, red fruit, black pepper, bright acidity
Friends Would Say: A stunning, complex and all round gorgeous number! One of SHEDs staff favourite wines. It has a complex layer of Cocoa, ganache, coffee and slight hint of tobacco on the nose and finishes very smooth with a pronounced fresh acidity. The fruit is bright red fruits knocked back by the savoury cocoa and robust profile. This wine feels special in the mouth and perfect for a gift to someone you really want to please.
The First Date: This bottle is all about pure enjoyment and romance factors. Leave that big project at the door and kick back with a big glass of this, candles on, records on, the works! You might even take this one for a warm bath, smooth and mellow.
