Appearance: Light ruby red color with delicate garnet reflections.
Aroma: Refined aromas of ripe raspberries, red cherries, forest fruits, with notes of violets, undergrowth, cedar, and subtle hints of spicy wood.
Taste: Medium-bodied with a velvety texture and finely integrated tannins. The palate is dominated by fresh red berries, raspberries, slight herbal notes, and pronounced minerality. The acidity is lively and nicely balances the fruit richness.
Finish: Long and clean finish with pronounced freshness, elegant fruitiness, and a gentle spicy tone.
