Drank this with dinner at The Empress in Victoria park, which is fast becoming one of our favourite spots (largely because of the charcuterie, which is of pretty stupendous quality). If you take a bottle from the local wine shop, Bottle Apostle, down on a Monday night you can drink for no corkage. I love a bit of local cross-pollination.
This is all about suave, perhaps even a little creamy blackberry and cherry fruit, lightly dusted with savoury spice. It seems quite pure and light in character at first, but there is some grip and backbone here for sure - it sat really well amongst our plates of ham, peppers, chorizo, even squid...love it. Will try again when I'm concentrating more.
