Zidarich Teran 2020

Rich, full-bodied red wine with a deep, concentrated ruby hue, its nose is noted for by layers of concentrated fruits, Earl Grey tea, and stalky undertones, suggesting a evolved fermentation process. The taste is dry and high in acidity, with a medium body and a rich, full flavour profile. The wine is generously supported by a range of red fruit flavours, comprising sour cherries, but lacks sweetness. The tannins are elegant and persistent, with a long, lingering finale that leaves a bracing liveliness on the palate. Overall, a high-quality wine with a captivating equilibrium of zest and tannins, making it a fantastic selection for those looking for a robust, full-bodied red.

This wine is a masterclass in balance and complexity, with a rich and indulgent mouthfeel that's ideally complemented by its understated notes of earthy oak and smoky undertones. The fruit is a vibrant medley of pomegranate, cherry, and plum, all harmoniously intertwined with a suggestion of minerality. The lasting impression is long and satisfying, with a lingering aftertaste that leaves you wanting more. A truly elite wine that's sure to please even the most discerning palates.

The grape is known as Terrano in Italy. It is aged in large casks for a few years. The nose is outlined by a blend of sour cherry, fall leaves, cranberry, and mandarin orange, with a touch of earth and rusty nail. The complexity of the nose is notable. The brightness is high, but not overpowering, and the tannins are soft and velvety. The grape is known for its wildness, but this particular example has been tempered. It is a good representation of the grape's potential, and it is likely to appeal to those who enjoy its unique character.
