Tasting Notes

Bright hues of salmon pink color in the glass. Fresh, fruity, clean aro-mas of cherry, red currant and strawberries.
On the palate, smooth texture and flavors of cherry, red berries,
pepper and soft spice.
A lively, dry, yet medium-full body with an elegant and persistent
finish.
Pairs beautifully with cheese, mixed salads, fresh summer dishes, grilled fish, roasted vegetables and even lightly grilled meats.
Serve at 10 °C / 60 °F
