Description

Wallcliffe red wines showcase these classic grape varietals synergised with the exceptional terroir.
Each vintage is a celebration of the best and most original wines produced from the vineyard in a particular year.
Enjoy this wine now or cellar for 10 years from vintage to allow for further development.
This first thing I thought, is this comes over almost like a wine from the Napa Valley.
Black fruit, perfume, distinct whiff of baking spices, sage and sweet tobacco, floral perfume above.
It’s dense and tightly-knit, melting chocolaty tannin of depth and carry, mocha and freshness of acidity, oak is certainly there, but as a frame of luxury in context of wine.
Succulence and savoury things.
Very long and firm to close.
It’s a beautiful wine of generosity and precision.
Nutty and chewy and so lovely to roll around the mouth.
