BRONZE MEDAL WINNER – CANADIAN WINE AWARDS 2011

BRONZE MEDAL WINNER – INTERVIN INTERNATIONAL WINE AWARDS 2011

“From the heartbreak grape, a heartthrob wine – you’ll fall in love with this. It’s highly perfumed with red cherry, Asian spice, toast and beetroot aromas, perfectly balanced and simply delicious. Lively spice-infused flavours bathe the palate with Montmorency cherry, ripe succulent black plum and racy red currant to the fore. It’s mid weight with good mouth feel and a generous aftertaste that’s lip-smacking good. Lovely sipped on its own and poured perfectly with grilled smoked duck breasts. ****” Vic Harradine, www.winecurrent.com, August 20, 2011.
