The colour is a lively ruby red with purplish hues characteristic of the variety. Notes of geranium and fresh fruit emerge on the nose. On the palate it is dry with a tartness and warmth. The split red fruits mixed with their perceptible tannins give a pleasing almond finish. Suggested serving temperature: 15-17° C.
