Tasting
Tasting notes
Bright ruby red colour, intense aroma of small red berries, wild strawberry, cherry and blackberry, with floral and spicy notes reminiscent of cloves and juniper. Its fresh, well-rounded palate is entrancing thanks to its fresh fruicy and floral taste, good acidicy and richness of flavour. Lingering finish with a slight spicy tannic weave that envelops the palate; excellent length.
