The Confluence //​ Aphelion

This wine is a vibrant purple colour with crimson notes. Nose is full of spicy cherries and dusty herbs. Palate is juicy with vibrant acidity that gives the wine a good length. Complex red berry flavours mix with savoury soft spice. Light to medium bodied with soft tannins.
