Douce Noire, sometimes referred to as Corbeau, is the same grape as Bonarda, usually used for blending in France. It takes centre stage here to create a vivid, juicy red, ideal for chilling down, but with plenty of complexity: bright cranberry, cherry and wild strawberry are offset by a bright herbaceous quality on the palate.
