Tasting Note
A true reflection of its terroir, this wine shows perfume and spice, coupled with vibrant red berry and blueberry fruit and underlying savoury notes. Subtle oak spice plays a supporting role and adds a layered complexity. The palate has a high level of fruit intensity, showing depth and concentration. This tightly structured has great finesse, purity and elegance; its fine tannins have focus, direction and length to charm.
Food Pairing
This splendid red wine tastes great with foods such as light meats, chicken, or lightly spiced dark meats.
