Wine of beautiful pink colour.  Delicate aromas of cassis, black cherries and strawberry, hints of citrus, star anise and delicate spiciness․Medium bodied, the palate is fruity yet balanced with a refreshing acidity. 

The wine goes well with light or spicy Mediterranean dishe, light salad.

Work in the vineyard takes place based on sustainable and, increasingly, organic principles, without the use of insecticides or herbicides, and grapes are hand-picked. Fermented and aged on their fine lees in stainless steel tanks.
