In the glass
Aroma: dark cherry, blackberry, oak spice
Palate: dark cherry, blackberry
Ashling Park's best red fruit of the year, aged almost a year in French and American oak for structure, complexity and depth. Dark cherry, blackberry and subtle oak make it a table wine rather than an aperitif.
What it pairs with
-
Roast duck breast
Medium tannin and oak spice sit against duck fat and cherry sauce. -
Mushroom and thyme tart
Cool-climate Pinot and earthy fungi are a natural pair. -
Slow roast lamb shoulder
The oak-derived structure gives the wine enough grip for lamb.
