Tasting Note

This wine is deep ruby red in colour. The intense and fruity nose displays aromas of red plum and cherry with subtle hints of oak from barrel ageing. Rounded and ripe on the palate, the tannins are present yet well-integrated, and the overall structure is more vertical. The result is a modern and elegant style that emphasizes balance and drinkability.
