Avondale Jonty’s Ducks Pekin Red

A rich, rustic red made from a blend of six varieties, the Jonty’s Ducks wines are named after Avondale’s team of natural pest controllers – their flock of ducks! On the nose there is lots of blackcurrant and liquorice, with a hint of dark chocolate and ground coffee. The wine has an explosion of fruit on the palate and well integrated, elegant tannins to support it. Biodynamic and organic.
