In the glass, the wine shows a vivid ruby-red colour, followed by aromas of ripe red cherries, raspberries and plums, with subtle floral and spicy nuances. The palate is medium-bodied and juicy, with supple texture, lively acidity and gently rounded tannins. Bright berry flavours remain at the centre, while a savoury edge adds depth and balance. The finish is clean, fresh and pleasantly persistent, inviting another sip.
