Bright purple in colour, aromas of strawberry, cracked black pepper and marzipan, slate-textured tannin with fresh acidity, ripe flavours of strawberry and blackcurrant with chocolate and mocha and a very long, increasingly savoury finish. Quite delicious.

“This is a blend of roughly 50% Grenache, with Mourvedre, Syrah, Petite Sirah, and Cabernet Sauvignon. There’s a quality boost from leftover Keplinger juice combined with premier style vineyards that Helen finds.The quality of wine is based on the quality of all its inputs - good vineyards, smart farming, pure and focused winemaking - ultimately attention and TLC at every step. We’ve sought out interesting sites with great dirt, farm them with care and thought, and use traditional winemaking to craft honest wine and make an artisanal red wine blend to match any occasion, any food, any time. Vermillion is a terroir-driven, delicious, hand-crafted wine to be enjoyed any night of the week.”
