at Sackville Reach which was destined to become part
of Dr. Fiaschi’s famous Tizzana Vineyards. |
Tasting Notes: |
Bright purple red in colour. Having a
clean bouquet, the aroma of the wine shows sweet vanilla
oak and floral notes. In-mouth, the wine is showing
sweet fruit and chocolate flavours, with light tannins
and a soft mouthfeel. Medium in length with a lingering
savoury aftertaste. |
