This a pale gold coloured wine, with a pronounced nose of rose petals and ripe pear, citrus and some minerality. It is dry, medium plus acidity, and has a medium body, The wine feels positively opulent in the mouth; soft and creamy. Rose petals and ripe, soft pear, dominate the palate along with citrus zest and a lovely minerality. So good on its own; better with friends.It should pair well with simply grilled fish and would stand up nicely to lobster chowder.

Deep ruby coloured wine, dry, medium bodied, medium- tannin and medium acidity. The wine has a pronounced aroma of sour cherry with raspberry, pepper, baking spice and a hint of fennel. It has a smooth and silky mouth feel and the aroma characteristics repeat on the palate. Excellent with beef stew with root vegetables and also tried with Swiss style dried beef or Bundnerfleisch and herbed goat cheeses. All 3 of the foods complemented the wines characteristics; good pairings. This wine would be excellent on its own and while I did not try it with a specific dark chocolate I think Stubbe madagascar chocolate would pair nicely; try a range if you are tasting it.

The wine is deep ruby, dry, medium acidity at most, smooth and silky tannin and a pronounce aroma of dark fruit (primarily cherry), black pepper, savoury herbs like rosemary and thyme, black olive, a nice meaty and savoury note and black licorice.Heaven in the mouth! Paired wonderfully with foccacia studded with rosemary sprigs, roasted garlic and red peppers, and good olive oil and lamb koftas drizzled with rosemary infused olive oil. Iberico cheese with rosemary crusted rind was wonderful too. Wonderful on it's own too. Madagascar 65% dark chocolate from Stubbe was the best dark chocolate with it (tasted 4 other single origin chocolates). Purchased in 2022 and tasted October 2025; well worth the wait and the enhanced flavour from extra age in bottle.
