Neleman ‘Just F*cking Good Wine’ Marselan
Matured in new French oak and overflowing with fruit, a powerful, full-bodied and friendly red wine.
Foresta
“[2013] Dark, ripe boysenberry purple and inky with a dark ruby crest. Dark fruits in the nose with mineral notes of graphite as well as tar. Fresh fruit aspect overall with good lift. Mix of red and black fruits in the medium body that gives a full palate sense, broad acidity and a very long finish. Some ways has the aromatic density of a hot vintage of Carignan but the freshness of cold climate Malbec.” More
