DaschBosch Ancestrale Grenache

The bubbly displays an onionskin colour, typical from grapes that had a little bit of skin contact. It is bursting with strawberry and
raspberry flavours with a hint of earthiness from the amphora. The pallet is fresh with good acidity for longevity.

Perfect with smoked salmon, oysters or any seafood.
