Tasting

Tasting note

This wine seduces with a nose that combines notes of ripe fruit and menthol, creating a pleasant contrast between freshness and sweetness. In the mouth, it appears dense, with a fleshy texture and a beautiful presence.

Food pairings

Ideal with quail skewers, broken beef or oven-roasted canar.
