Reviews

This is a fresh lively style of wine, with a bright strawberry colour. The nose exhibits lifted fruit characters of raspberry, red cherry & redcurrant along with spice & dried herbs. The palate is fine, soft, juicy and full with ripe berry, spice and red liquorice flavours. The finish is fresh, savoury, crisp and dry. Best served chilled as an aperitif or alternatively, given its compatibility with varied cuisines, with a wide range of foods from Mediterranean to spicy Asian styles.
