Sensory Features
Bright ruby with violet reflections that become garnet with time. Intense aromatic structure of ripe red fruits like cherry and blackberry, but also flowers such as violet and dried rose and aromatic herbs. In the mouth it immediately reveals the character of an elegant velvety wine, with good fruitiness mouth feel. The tannins well integrated and the balanced acidity accompany the wine in the persistent finish.

Pairs nicely with…
The wine matches very well with a vegatable laden lasagne of smoked eggplant, chili feta, grilled zuchini and red capsicum. A simple grilled veal chop on the bone, or venison fillet. Excellent with aged sheep and vaccines cheeses.
