WINEMAKER'S NOTES
Considered as the entry-level of the Mark Ryan wine range, the Dissident is a smooth and luscious blend with great character. The nose is filled with notes of black fruits, a touch of leather, and some vanilla hints rounding out the whole aromatic experience. On the palate, the wine is round, soft, and dry with a good fruit concentration and fine tannins. It is a wine that can be enjoyed now but also shows a good aging potential. It is extremely food-friendly; it works well with any red meat but it’s perfect with a juicy steak or game.
