WineSaint
Tart raspberry and wild cherry burst from the glass, edged with medicinal herbs and warm spice. The palate shows electric acidity and fine-grained tannins that frame the fruit beautifully. That whole-cluster fermentation announces itself through stem-driven complexity. White pepper, dried herbs, and a pleasant green tea bitterness that runs through the long finish. Pure Upper Yarra expression.
