Tasting Notes

Bles is the name given to an indigenous plant– Chrysanthemum Bles. Our Organic vineyards thrive with nature and insects like the butterflies that can thrive in the natural chemical free envi-ronment. Intense deep ruby color. On the nose, balsamic aromas and spices, and a background of ripe fruits. Rounded tannins and hints of citric and spice, with a long ripe berry finish. Enjoy with BBQ meats, poultry, accompanied with sauces and spicy plates. Serving Temperature: 18°C / 65°F
