Description: Deep ruby red. A medium-bodied wine with lots of fruit, plums, red cherries mixed with some chocolate notes, nuttiness and a some herbiness. Soft rounded tannins with balanced acidity
and lovely long fruity finish. Very generous wine.
Recommendations: Served at 16-18 degrees. This wine is ready to drink now, but can also be stored for another 5-6 years. Wonderful companion wine or enjoy it together with pasta, tasty meat stews, grilled with root vegetables. Also works very well for sthard cheeses with good saltiness and blue cheese.
