Tasting note
Discreet but long-lasting foam presentation. Pale pink in colour. Aromas of fresh strawberries and Bircher muesli. On the palate, harmonious fruit sweetness with balanced acidity, showing hints of cherries, figs, cranberries and lemon jelly. Fruit-driven, refined and discreet, with excellent drinkability and broad appeal.(tasted by wine academic Johannes Fiala)
