2023 Gartelmann Georg Petit Verdot

Rylstone

NAME: Named after Jorg Gartelmann's maternal grandfather Georg.

TASTING NOTES: Attracting you straight away with its deep inky burgundy colour. The nose then lures you further; very spicy and peppery, with dusty blackcurrants and mulberry coulis. Inhale deeply and gently exhale, you'll see hints of violets and chocolate and cassis. Take a sip… the palate is dense and rich, with soft, approachable tannins. Let it slide down the  throat with its sweet blackcurrant finish, touch of aniseed and fennel. A deliciously lingering finish to bring you back again and again.

FOOD MATCHING:  Think about it with slow cooked beef, spinach lasagne, roasted Mediterranean vegetables with
hummus, lamb shoulder and hard chesses.

CELLARING: Drink from 2024, better from 2026, or cellar until 2029+.
