This big, bold wine from Douro packs a punch! Firm, grippy tannins open up to dense layers of dark fruit, with subtle hints of chocolate mixed in with aromas and flavours of smoke and spice. Sporting a long, dry intense finish, this full bodied gem would be perfect in 2-4 years, or tonight aftter an hour or two in a decanter, and would pair perfectly with rare bbq steak or a hearty roast beef. A Mike’s Must Have!

This unique offering from Featherstone is an aromatic delight that transforms upon taste. Aromas of lychee, peach, flowers and green apple transform into flavours of citrus, green grass and minerality. Acidity is solid, but the finish fizzles. A very unique blend of four distinct varietals that should be enjoyed tonight with oven-roasted halibut or spicy curry dishes.
