"Quite a structured primitivo that shows promise. Medium-to full-bodied, the clean black-plum fruit and oak elements need a bit of time to achieve full harmony. But already the tannins are melding with the fruit. Sustainable. Like it. Drinkable now, but worth waiting until at least 2023."

91 International Wine Report

The 2018 'Ghenos' offers inviing aromas of ripe dark cherries and roasted plums woven together with hints of wild herbs and licorice. On the palate this is medium-bodied and seamless with a gorgeous velvety texture and glides effortlessly through the finish.

Product Description:

This is a pop-and-pour wine that is ready to go when it arrives, perfect for an everyday red!

"Inviting aromas of spiced cherries and black fruits complement undertones of tobacco and dried plums.

A full-bodied wine, soft and rich in fine tannins, with notes of cocoa, coffee and vanilla in the end." - Winemakers Notes
