Appearance: Brillant, translucent ruby red.

Nose: Highly aromatic, it opens with an explosion of fresh red cherries, raspberries, and wild strawberries, closely followed by elegant floral notes of violets and rose petals.

Palate: The entry is bright and fruit-forward with crunch, leading into a mid-palate of red currant and spice. The tannins are fine-grained and delicate.

Ageing: 12/14 months in French oak barrel (228 l fine-grain medium toast) and 2/3 months in stainless steel tank before bottling.

Pairing: Because of its bright acidity, this wine plays incredibly well with clean flavors, subtle herbs, and rich umami textures.
