Charteris Rouge Le Fauve 2022

A radiant crimson purple glow sets the scene for an explosion of bright fruit focused aromatics. Ripe raspberry, blueberry, and inky black currant fuse into an exotic amalgam of nighttime on La Rambla in Barcelona. Hints of rosewood, wild woody herbs, pink peppercorns and dark rose petals completing the heady lift of perfume. The juxtaposition of acidity and tannin provides an instant tension of flavour and texture. Ripe pippy blackberry and tangy red plum slide across the palate with a shimmering acid line giving a resonant persistence. While this wine will easily sit along side generously flavoured food, it would happily go with ambiance alone.
