1659 Classic Red NV

Nose: Deep and ripe dark fruit aromas with subtle undertones of spice and vanilla.
Palate: The wine shows lovely aromas of violet and berries, giving it a pleasant fruit pastille character. The palate is soft, with a bit of sweetness in the finish and flavours of raspberry, plums and delicate spice.

Pairs well with shellfish, a beautiful Filet Mignon and very welcome at any Dinner Party.
