On the palate, flavours spread from warm spice to Campari, with a savoury seam that hints at ramen broth.

2021 was a very small yielding vintage resulting in wines with intensity and concentration. The small compact bunches gave a wonderful blend of bright fruit aromas and more dark seductive notes of dark cherry, thyme and mulberry.

Only small quantities made, our Crimson 2021 shows the structure and drive of a small vintage in Martinborough.
