Grape variety 100 % Pinot Noir.

Robe Beautiful, brilliant deep ruby red in colour.

Nose Both delicate and intense, the nose is reminiscent of fruity nuances of berries (blackcurrant, raspberry) with a floral touch of rose along with some spicy notes.

Palate Powerful structure yet supple and smooth. Perfectly balanced with a dazzling finish.

Serve with The perfect match for red meat, large game, spicy dishes and full-flavoured cheeses. Try it with a haunch of venison or roast pigeon with lemon and sage. When it comes to cheese, choose aged goat’s cheeses. With dessert, match this wine with a raspberry Bavarian cream or a chocolate tart with clementine zest.
