Amanda Barnes writes: Pale cherry in colour, Ver Sacrum takes a delicate approach to their GSM blend which sings with notes of wild strawberries, tarragon and cherry blossom. Theres a slight tartness to the palate, with crisp acidity and barely-there powdery tannins. Delightfully easy-drinking, chillable light red. Drinking 2024 to 2026. – Jancis Robinson 16+
