Tasting notes

Intense red with light garnet reflections. Ripe fruit on the nose mixed with slightly musky woodland flowers and a fitting touch of oak. Balanced, harmonious palate with good body and elegance, ripe red berry fruit alternating with jam.

Pairs well with

Structured first courses, and braised and roast meats; also pleasant after a meal.
