The wine presents a deep ruby hue with an opaque core and purple reflections. On the nose, it offers ripe black cherries, blackberry confit, and a touch of cassis, complemented by subtle herbal nuances. The palate is substantial yet elegant, showcasing ripe cherries, good freshness, and velvety tannins. A subtle sweetness lingers on the finish, making it a multifaceted food wine.

Boccaccio Cellars offers real time shipping rates at checkout. These are heavily subsidised rates directly from Australia Post and will vary depending on your postcode.
Unfortunately, due to the ever increasing costs of postage we are unable to offer free shipping any longer. Postal increases have seen the average box of wine range from $30-$60, which can represent up to 500% of the cost of the average bottle of wine.
Your postal costs are calculated on the following factors:
- Where in Australia you are shipping to (Where rural postcodes obviously attract a higher charge)
- What in Australia you are shipping (Beer and water for example, are calculated in real time without any additional subsidy. This is because the margins for these products are minimal). Dry goods attract a discounted flat fee of $12 per carton (Calculated by gross weight).
Pickups on all items are encouraged.
