Backsberg Elbar 2006

Mediterranean medley of flavours - herbs, dried fruit and potpourri. A blend of Malbec and some major red varieties associated with vineyards in close proximity to the Mediterranean.

This wine is certainly complex and fairly easy to drink, although a food wine, matching pasta, pizza and other Mediterranean delicatessen.
