Tasting Notes
 A beautiful red of deep garnet colour, showing good aromatic complexity with notes of violet flowers, dark plums, ripe cherry, red berries and spices, offering this wine a very special character. On the palate, its shows great balance, with flavours matching its nose profile combined with delicate hints of bergamot. It is round, elegant, yet its tannins quite vibrant and juicy, finishing quite flavourful and lingering
Food Match
A versatile red that can pair nicely with both meat and fish. Rib-eye steak or roasted octopus. Beautiful with pea and sage risottos and pasta dishes with some chili.
