Tasting Notes

NOSE
Fresh & Aromatic
A bouquet of fresh, fruity aromas, dominated by blackberry, plum, and strawberry notes. A subtle touch of violet and mountain spices—such as cinnamon and allspice—gives this wine an aromatic complexity, reflective of the cool-climate growing conditions.

PALATE
Vibrant & Structured
Beautifully balanced with a fresh, polished mouthfeel. The bright acidity frames the vibrant fruit flavours, while a layer of vanilla sweetness and a touch of oak add depth and richness. The wine is medium to full-bodied, with excellent tension and length that enhances the overall drinking experience.

FINISH
Elegant & Lingering
The subtle tannins are well integrated, providing structure without overpowering the delicate fruit profile. A lingering spice from the mountain terroir creates a satisfying and memorable conclusion.
