Appearance: Light ruby red with slight purple hues.
Nose: Aromas of red berries like strawberry and raspberry with subtle floral hints. There are also delicate notes of forest floor, a touch of spice, and a hint of earthy minerality.
Palate: Light to medium-bodied with silky tannins and bright acidity. Flavours of ripe red cherries, cranberries, and a hint of wild strawberry come forward, complemented by subtle notes of spice and a touch of herbal freshness. There is an earthy undertone that adds depth without overpowering the fruit profile.
Finish: Clean and refreshing, with lingering red fruit and a slight mineral edge.
Pairing: A lovely match with roast chicken, grilled salmon, mushroom risotto, and soft cheeses like brie or camembert.
Serving Suggestion: Serve at around 14-16°C, lightly chilled, to enhance the wine’s fresh and delicate flavours.
