TASTING NOTES
Colour is bright, with rose petal redness, and no browning. A beguiling and complex nose of strawberry coulis, rosewater, Turkish Delight, quince paste, and cassis with hints of musk and violets, a rare character of this variety. These aromatics follow through to the palate, with lively red fruits, and a light tannin persistence. It finishes with an illusion of sweetness, the mark of all good red wine.
