The wine is matured in vats for a relatively short period of around six months in order to preserve all its freshness and fruit. Intense red colour with purple highlights. Intense nose with abundant red fruit aromas of cranberry and redcurrant mingled with spicy notes of dill and rosemary, as well as pastry overtones. Starts out soft and rich, displaying very smooth, fine tannins mid palate, and a return to red fruit flavours A smooth, well balanced finish with good acidity that delivers excellent length.
