Full bodied red wines have a noticeably textural mouthfeel with bold, complex flavours. Often deeply coloured.
Dry wines have no trace of sweetness at all.

Full red-purple; a fruit-driven bouquet with a complex array of rich dark berry, plum and spice aromas, then a super-saturated and concentrated palate exuding fruit, spice and soft tannins. One can only imagine that part of the concentration derives from juice run-off.

Very ripe, rich, full-bodied wine with raisiny, fruitcakey aromas. Big, lush and still quite tannic. Superb flavoir and depth, with complexing hints of crushed ants among black fruits, jam and Christmas cake flavours.
