A tribute to Verona and the 3,000 love messages left daily in the courtyard overlooking the balcony at Juliet's old casa, this is a soft and spicy, velvety red made from grapes pre-dried in wooden trays.

A ruby red coloured wine. Lovely fresh perfumes of currants and wild cherries and hints of spices and vanilla. On the palate it is well balanced with a long, tasty finish.

It has aromas and flavours suggestive of blackberries, raspberries, purple plums, vanilla pod, cigar-box and liquorice. On the palate there is a dense core of bright, ripe, mouth-filling fruit which is supported by an ample tannins.

The palate is generously full and fruity with plush velvety tannins that lead on to a lingering tangy aftertaste. While ready to drink on release we expect this wine to improve for several years and live for well over a decade with careful cellaring.
