Product Description
A number of varieties go to make up this light red wine. They include Triomphe, Regent, Pinot Noir as well as some Gamay and Dornfelder.
All the grapes are hand picked and pressed together to produce a delicate wine with red berried and strawberry fruits on the nose.
This leads to a red berried palate with light tannins. This wine has been made ripasso style.
Food match: Excellent with delicate steaks and meat pies and casseroles.
Serve at 15 – 16 degrees after decanting
