Tasting notes:
The nose is intriguing and unconventional, revealing aromas of stewed tea and ripe pumpkin flesh, which create a warm and inviting bouquet. On the palate, the wine continues to impress with its complex flavours of tea leaves and stewed pumpkin, complemented by a hint of tangerine that adds a refreshing brightness. The texture is finely grippy, supported by delicate, dry tannins that lend structure without overwhelming the palate. While the core offers a subtle sweetness, there is a slight papery note that adds depth.
