About Ridgemill Estate Amphora Rosso 500mL
This amphora-aged red from Ridgemill Estate opens with an earthy, terracotta-tinged bouquet of dried cherry, wild herbs, and a subtle oxidative nuttiness characteristic of clay vessel maturation. On the palate, it delivers bright red fruit — pomegranate, sour cherry, and blood plum — underpinned by fine-grained tannins and a gentle savoury minerality that speaks to its unique vessel aging. The finish is long and textural, with lingering dried rose petal and a whisper of iron-rich earth.
