Ruby red in colour; a new wave Aussie sparkling red. Classic earthy Heathcote brick dust and white pepper, with bright plum, blackberry, blackcurrant aromas. Follows on the shiny, animated palate with sumac, thyme, rosemary spice, chocolate liquorice bullets, leather notes, and rooibos tea. Lively mousse and acidity, with wet stone and iron minerality, gentle tannins; perfect with Sunday or Xmas roasts.
