2009 Family Tree Red
our wine / Family Tree - by Henry of Pelham
Description
“Spice, ripe black plum and dark berry fruit aromas waft from this juicy, tangy red blend – Merlot, Syrah, Pinot Noir and Cabernet Franc. It’s medium bodied, nicely textured and brimming with savoury, racy red currant, cherry and black currant flavour. The finish lingers with good structure and under pinning. Versatile with a wide variety of cuisine, give it a go with steak, pizza, ribs or burgers.” 4 stars (out of 5)

We can’t choose our family. We also can’t make our soil or predict the weather. So we adapt to them all and in the process discover something about the people, the soil and the weather nature gives us. Part of that adaptation is working with brothers, cousins, friends and neighbours who have unique and different vineyard sites and grape varieties. From small family farms, great wines. This is our Speck Family Tree.
