Aglaea<\/em><\/strong> is name of the youngest of the Three Graces \u2013 the three sisters and daughters of God Zeus. The wine \u2018Aglaea\u2019 is the \u2018youngster\u2019 in my portfolio, and made from grapes of both old and young vines.  It is bright cherry red. Dried herbs and minerals make up the gentle perfumes, while on the palate good acidity and hints of dry cherries capture the senses. A light savoury mouthfeel  lingers towards the end. <\/p>\n
