The wine is light ruby in colour with a red brick hue.

On the palate, the wine is dry, with high juicy acidity, moderate well-integrated alcohol, a medium- body, light silky tannins, moderate fruit concentration on the medium finish. Overall, appealing, typical and developing nose; excellent acidity on the palate, silky tannins and a good length. Ready for drinking with potential for ageing (3–4 years).
