Villion Grenache Noir 2022

Tasting Notes

Explosion of red berry fruit captivates the senses. Notes of freshly pressed pomegranate, crushed young raspberry fruit and hints of graphite minerality entice. Herbal aniseed, bruised rooibos and fynbos aromatics enrich the flavour profile.

Vibrant and confident entry of young red berry fruit, edgy texture and perfectly poised structure which extends to a pleasurable, prolonged finish. Intriguing salinity due to the maritime origin.
