Tasting note
Light cherry red hue. Scents of Amarena cherry, graphite and lavender in the bouquet. A very expressive palate with notes of cherry and incense, elegant extract sweetness and firm, tight acidity. Also gripping texture, grainy tannins and plenty of body. Such excellent tension. A fine blood orange finish with a long citrus aftertaste.

Food recommendation
A typically Austrian “Brettljause” – a plate of cold cuts, cheeses and vegetables – especially with Tyrolean bacon
