This one is for the dad who loves to cook and eat. He sees wine as a compliment to any dish he creates, so the flavours of the wine must be as balanced as the food he’s cooking.

Fruit-forward, approachable and delicious while young, it’s brimming with blackcurrant and cherry nuances, with delicate tannins and hints of cedar oak, making this wine the perfect pair to that Father’s Day meal you’re planning to cook him.
