Description

A refined and expressive red blend that offers a compelling interplay of fruit and earth. Aromas of wild raspberry, blackcurrant, graphite, and fresh herbs lead into a vibrant palate. Notes of crushed red berries, violet, and chalky minerality unfold with precision, supported by fine-grained tannins and a long, layered finish. ·

Food Pairing
This wine pairs beautifully with grilled lamb, mushroom risotto, duck breast, or aged cheeses. Its acidity and structure also complement roasted root vegetables, making it a versatile partner for both meat and plant-based dishes.
