Reviews
"Carnelian-coloured, with earthy aromas of dried blood, cherries, baharat, sumac, and cinnamon. Intense flavours of mocha, dark marmalade, manuka honey, and toffee apricot jam. Silky texture, vibrant spine-tingling palate. Sweet yet driven by spice and earthy notes to a dry, herbaceous finish. Spectacular. Pairs beautifully with savoury dishes — perfect with biltong or a chicory, walnut & Baron Bigod salad."
