Brampton Roxton Blend 75cl

The Brampton Roxton is a blend of two classic Bordeaux grapes. The Petit Verdot contributes to the muscular structure of the wine while the Shiraz adds a distinctive flavour and spice to the mid-palate. The Malbec adds bright berry fruit. This wine displays delicious dark black cherries with dark chocolate and spice on the mid-palate and a lingering finish.
