The wine has a light pink salmon colour and a bouquet of strawberries and rose petals on the nose. As for the taste, there is a hint of watermelon and crushed pomegranate on the palate, rounded off with fresh acidity for a delicious, lingering mouth-feel.

The perfect partner with trout, salmon or sushi.
