Description
Elegant and refined, Tiwha instantly captivates with a ripe perfume of red bramble berries, exotic Chinese five spice, and a savoury hint of wild thyme and porcini mushroom. Delicate, yet well structured tannin is supported by an oak finesse, framing the brambled palate flow with sweet yet savoury notes of roasted hazel nut, almond and dark spices. Evolution from time in the glass is rewarded. Produced under organic conversion (BioGro.) 20% whole bunch, 100% wild fermentation. Aged for 10 months in French oak (28% new.) 18 months bottle age prior to release.
