Tasting Notes

Appearance:
Deep ruby garnet with purple highlights and a violet rim. Dense at the core, lively in the glass – a visual promise of depth and freshness.

Nose:
Fruit-driven and typical of the variety. Juicy sour cherry and ripe Horitschon heart cherries take center stage, supported by dark berries and subtle spice notes. Hints of herbs lend finesse and elegance to the bouquet.

Palate:
Soft and harmonious, with mild acidity and silky-smooth tannins. The fruit carries through – clear, juicy, and pronounced. Spicy undertones and a full-bodied structure provide depth and character. The finish is rounded, long-lasting, and invites the next sip.

Serving Temperature & Food Pairing:
Lightly chilled (14–16 °C), a charming summer wine for convivial gatherings. At 17–18 °C, the perfect partner for autumn appetizers, salads, mushroom ragouts, pasta, pizza, meat dishes, hearty snacks, or cheese.

Cellaring Potential:
Already very drinkable now, yet with development potential for 3–5 years.
