From the winery about this vintage: “It has an attractive and bright violet colour with aromas of red fruits like strawberries and cherries with delicate presence of flowers such as violets and lilac. In the palate it is round, pleasant and very persistent. Its elegant structure on the palate and balance shows the benefits of both terroirs.”
