"Easy drinking red – medium bodied, red fruits and spice" is how the Koerners describe this wine. We agree wholeheartedly. This is a great representation of the wines that come from this fresh and cool corner of South Australia. Red and blue fruit lift the floral elements and leave you wanting for more.
