Tasting
Shining in a crimson red with ruby red reflexes, the first nose offers marvellous flavours of strawberry jam, juicy blackberries, dark elderberries as well as notes of autumn leaves and soil, with a delicious hint of white pepper and roses. With some air spicy notes of bell pepper appear, while the ripe tannins feel pleasant, round and smooth on the palate. This match is excellent and harmonious with the ripe fruity freshness and still lightly crisp minerality. The gutsy spicy finish shows a perfect impression of this classical Pinot Noir
