Description
The nose invokes aromas of Black Doris plums, lifted florals and spicy oak undertones. A complex tannin structure amplifies the mouthfeel while the palate is dominated with flavours of wild mushroom, cassis and a hint of smoke. The wine finishes boldly with the tannins providing tension that dance with the vibrant Marlborough acidity.
In 1242 William de Marisco was implicated in an assassination attempt on King Henry the Third. Found guilty of high treason, William and 16 of his associates were sentenced to death. It is said that the King was so displeased with William, he even requested a special punishment be devised – that of ‘quartering’. Following his execution, the four parts of William’s body were sent to the four corners of the Kingdom – as an example of what would happen to those incurring the full vehemence of the King’s Wrath.
