This wine is fragrant and pretty, with notes of violet, raspberry, red currants and a hint of spice. It's incredibly drinkable and made with such thought and care, it's a true delight.
'Oeno’ derives from both the Evening Primrose (Oenothera Biennis) found in this vineyard, combined with the science dedicated to the study and knowledge of wines, Oenology. The vineyard boasts an altitude exceeding 200m above sea level. The top soil is pure sand, with clay and red ironstone pockets below the surface.
