The wine is pale ruby in colour. A fruit-driven nose of pronounced intensity; aromas of raspberry, strawberry jam and rose petals. Well-balanced on the palate, with a hint of sweetness, fresh acidity, moderate ripe firm tannins, well-integrated alcohol, a full body and very good fruit concentration; flavours of strawberry, red cherry and raspberry on a lasting finish. Ready for drinking with potential for ageing (4-5 years). Residual sugar – 4-18 g/l.
