Sourced from a single Gomersal vineyard just a few minutes south of the winery. 80+ year old vines in ancient deep red brown earth soils over a clay base. A nose of ripe black cherry and berry juice, freshly squeezed, with some cinnamon and clove depth. This follows on the palate which is rich yet very bright and lifted with some gamey notes in the finish, just a hint of oak and five spice too. (pretty sure this is some of the fruit that went into the Magpie Gomersal and its quite possible that a certain Rolf B had a little hand in this wine!)
Goes with- pink, seared duck, Chinese ribs, warm goats cheese and mutton curries apparently. I had it with a pretty spicy red duck curry and as Grenache so often does it worked really well with the spice and heat.
