The 2018 'Ghenos' offers inviting 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.

91 James Suckling - Jamessuckling.com

"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."

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
