A fun, festive red sparkler that's crimson-purple in colour with aromas of plum, raspberry and spice, refreshing, rich flavours of cherry and plum with a touch of fresh herbs, minerality, firm tannins and an uplifted acidity on the finish. Chambourcin is the grape varietal, but a small amount of fortified Shiraz was added, which contributes to the funky uniqueness of the wine. (GB - Tidings, January 2012)
