Advice

Serving
Serve at room temperature.
Tasting
A fruity and elegant wine, expressing fresh fruit flavours. On the palate, the wine is very round with soft and well-matured tannins. While approachable and ready to drink upon release, may also be cellared for five to ten years, giving a softer, more complex wine.
Food pairings
This wine can be drunk now or left to develop for two years. Serve at room temperature and match with hearty, savoury dishes such as mushroom stroganoff or roast leg of lamb.
