BUY THE WINE

Ella Lister: Limpid tawny. A sensual bouquet of undergrowth, porcini, and other vegetal notes, as well as bramble and cocoa powder. Exquisite satiny ballerina elegance pirouetting on to the stage of your palate. A soft landing, and you’re entranced. Balanced on a tiptoe, with no effort whatsoever, and stays there for minutes.
