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 developed earthy, bacon and pencil shaving notes. In-mouth, the wine is showing savoury and chocolate flavours, with light tannins and a soft mouthfeel. Medium in length with a lingering savoury aftertaste. |
