Flavours of dark fruits like blackberry, cherry and plums, with some spice and pepper and sometimes earthy or herbal notes, reflecting Alicante’s warm climate and limestone soils.

Perfect for hearty dishes such as, Spanish bean stew, chorizo dishes, spicy Moroccan dishes and grilled lamb chops.

With some bottle ageing, this 2018 packs a punch. Nerello Mascalese is Sicily’s star variety and usually grown around the foot of Mount Etna. These mineral-rich volcanic soils help the vines produce grapes that are rich in both complex minerals and a fine acidity. This exciting red has smoky minerality with rich red cherry fruit and a nimble body that dances along the palate.
