Tasting notes
Ruby red, with an intense nose showing fruity notes of cherry, blackberry, plum, raspberry, cranberry and strawberry, as well as floral hints of violets and cyclamens.
These are confirmed on the mouth, with strong flavours of fruit, an appealing freshness, and the wine’s classic almondy aftertaste.
