Tasting

How it drinks

Sight
Rose gold with warm copper-pink hues; port finish gives distinctive blush colour
Nose
Red fruit meets tropical — raspberry, cherry, plum, vanilla, toffee. Port wine sweetness, hints of dark chocolate and dried cranberry. A touch of cinnamon spice and gentle oak
Palate
Medium body. Smooth — red berry, plum, vanilla, port wine sweetness, milk chocolate. Raspberry, cherry compote, gentle spice, light oak tannins from port casks. Sweet and fruit-forward
Finish
Medium finish. Red fruit, port sweetness, vanilla, gentle tannic grip. Berry and chocolate linger pleasantly. Port finish adds complexity to the tropical base
