An elegant taste with the aroma of ripe red fruits, spices and elegant oak aromas. The well-balanced combination of supple tannins and pleasant acidity is appealing, and the aftertaste is quietly filled with minerality and complexity. A carefully crafted wine.

Owning & Enjoying

Tasting notes
Bright and transparent ruby color.

The aroma that rises from the glass is a harmonious blend of gorgeous aromas of red fruits such as cherries and raspberries, spices of cinnamon and cloves, and a subtle toasty aroma.

The mouthfeel is smooth, with a pleasant resonance between the firm fruitiness and delicate acidity.

The tannins are finely textured, and the aftertaste is earthy and mineral, leaving an elegant and sophisticated impression. A highly refined flavor with depth.

Pairing
Roasted chicken thigh with herbs, sautéed pork with mustard cream sauce, mushroom and bacon tart
