Liquorice and warm spice that opens up to wild berries and sour cherry on the nose. The wine is elegant, with a fine tannin structure and focused acidity that is balanced by juicy red fruit on the palate.

Perfect pairing with simple, grilled or roasted meat and game dishes. Works well with beef/vegetable stew, chicken pot pie, or a four-cheese Macaroni and do not forget a nice thin based pizza.
