"Delicate and subtly textured, with sweet cherry, ripe plum and raspberry fruit notes that are balanced by ending with a light smoky finish. Drink now. 7,000 cases imported. " (WS)
"Light orange-pink. Redcurrant and strawberry on the nose, with notes of orange peel and chalk adding lift. Dry and edgy on entry, then fleshier in the mid-palate, offering lively red fruit and bitter citrus flavors and a touch of sweet melon. Firm and taut on the finish, which leaves tangy blood orange and red fruit notes behind." (IWC)
"This bright and buoyant bottling absolutely begs for comparison with its California cousins for, while showing nominal yeast and a fine, frothy mousse, its first and most obvious message is lot of vital, decidedly juicy, young fruit. It is not a wine of layering and nuance as much as it is one of straightforward appeal, and it will be equally welcomed as a companion to poultry, salmon and milder pork dishes or as an unaccompanied quaff to start the evening off right.

Winery Notes:
Appearance
Elegant, with color changing naturally from a pretty raspberry hint to salmon-pink.
Nose
Precise and very crisp. Wide range of small red fruits: strawberries, red currants, raspberries and black cherries. Its amazing freshness is the dominating note.
Taste
Intensely fruity flavors, clean, well-defined and slightly sharp, the wine then opens up to provide an impression of plunging into a basket of freshly picked red berries: strawberries, Morello cherries, black currants and raspberries. The wine is supple and rounded on the finish. |
