This single-vineyard wine appears in the glass in deep ruby red with a short, violet rim. On the nose it presents itself fruity with reminiscence of blackberries, black cherries and ripe strawberries. This fruity structure is supported by the spicy scent of Mediterranean herbs, dark pepper, nutmeg and cloves. The clear mineral note reflects the origin. The spice, herbs as well as berry flavors are also evident on the palate where the wine appears with firm structure, minerality and underlying toasty aromatics. Rich tannin envelops the compact body. The complexity of the site wine is reflected in the very long finish with
freshness.
Pair with pork, short roasted meat, beef in root cream sauce, game and cheese.
Recommendation: decant 1 hour before drinking.
