Appearance: Ruby-red color with a darker rim; medium body, bright and in parts dense. On the bottles, pomegranate-toned shades are depicted, hinting at the wine’s age.
Aroma: Intense and refined nose: black currant, blueberry, followed by notes of chocolate and dessert (liquorice), and the spice of cloves. With every swirl, new layers of aroma open up.
Palate: Dry, ripe fruit—black currant and blueberry emphasize the fruitiness. The structure is elegant, soft, and velvety. Tannins are pleasantly gentle; the wine is medium-bodied, slightly tangy with a mineral backbone. The feel in the mouth is harmonious, with a long-lasting finish, where a jam-like note of currants appears with a slight buttery undertone.
Finish: Long-lasting aftertaste with pronounced intensity, fruity-herbal and mineral hints—harmonious wine, suitable both for decanting and for enjoying now. It unfolds as an elegant interpretation of Istrian terroir.
