Vanguard aromas present a striking tapestry of spice, fruit, and herbs. Notes of dried rosemary, fennel, rocket leaf, and Madagascan pink peppercorn form vertical seams, interwoven with broader horizontals of blackberries, red cherry, and spiced orange rind. On the palate, this wine exhibits remarkable agility, with fine yet firm fruit skin tannins framing high-contrast flavours of juicy blackberry, sour cherry, white pepper, and fennel. The wine concludes with a lingering flourish of dried violets, lavender, and raspberry.
