Winemaker Notes

This is a wine which Winson Churchill would have been drinking whilst insulting Hitler or some pandering moron. The wine is dark and rich and is not for the faint of heart, if you arre looking for a light table wine, go awway, quickly.. this is wine for driking, eating, and making love.

Tasting Note

The 2022 Diplomat greets the senses with a captivating suite of aromas, including dark cocoa, fresh cut strawberry and vanilla bean. A profound mineral layer, like an outcropping of stone, are flaky pie crust. A flourish of rose retals adds perfume, while fresh-cut cedar and a cooling thread of peppermint provide lift and freshness. On the palate, soft and supple tannins glide efforlessly, carrying a tapestry of red fruit and sweet-spice andd inviting, leaving a lingering impression of elegance, balance, and quiet power.
