This is a food lovers wine. Big, bold and full-bodied. Complex aromas of black currant, bing cherry, chocolate and coconut, followed by cinnamon and fruitcake spices. It is dry and well balanced with mature and firm tannins. Flavours of bright-red cherries and plums lead to a long harmonious finish, leaving you wanting more. Velvety in the mouth yet delivers robust multi-layered flavours on the palate.
This is not a wine for amateurs.
This is a seductress on the hunt. Best aged, if you can wait!

Pairs perfectly with grilled foods. Flash up the BBQ and enjoy!

Flying Fish Trinity

The inviting ruby colour invites the nose to enjoy the subdued spiciness of anise and sage offered by the Merlot, the floral notes of violets from the Cabernet Sauvignon, and the vegetative notes provided by the Tempranillo. The balance is dry with a good tannin structure and it finishes with long, clean, fruit-forward flavours.
These 3 grape varietals work together to create a perfect dance where the aromas carry through to the palate. This wine is well integrated and will continue to develop and improve for 5 years.
Pair with rich foods.
