A silky, sweet red wine that's full of blackberries, prunes and cherry fruits on the palate. What makes this more interesting are the slight tannins that add structure to this medium-bodied red wine. Finishes with a dose of minerals. You can drink this as an apèritif, some prefer it as a dessert wine. Your choice.
