Tasting note
Light ruby red hue. Deep and multi-layered on the nose with scents of forest soil, dried plum, black olive, cocoa powder, soy sauce, patchouli and graphite. A lightfooted wine, dry as dust, with fresh acidity and flavours of sour cherry, blood orange, bitter chocolate, sultanas and dried herbs. Gentle tannins, mineral grip and a good mouthfeel. Complex with varietal typicity. (tasted by wine academic Johannes Fiala)
