Daschbosch Plicatilis 2012

Complex, plummy with red fruit and spicy aromas on the nose with a savoury wild berry finish on the palate. Touches of honeysuckle fruit from Viognier are well integrated with the French oak tannins to give the wine a long, velvety finish.

A perfect companion with beef, mutton and venison.
