- Nose: Expect alluring aromas of ripe plum, mulberries, and bright spices, complemented by floral and earthy hints.
- Palate: Juicy raspberry jam and hedgerow fruits dominate the palate. A tell-tale undercurrent of cocoa powder and salty liquorice adds depth. Grippy, soft tannins provide excellent structure.
- Finish: A moreish, savoury finish with that distinctive twang of liquorice lingers nicely.
Fledge & Co Jikken Barrels Tinta Barocca wine is a harmonious blend of richness and finesse. Winemakers ferment the hand-harvested grapes in traditional open-top cement fermenters. They use manual punch-downs to gently coax optimum flavour from the skins. The wine is then aged for several months in seasoned large-format French oak barrels.
