Palate & Finish
02On the palate, it offers a beautifully balanced acidity that cuts through the rich fruit flavors, leading to a firm yet velvety tannin structure. The finish is long and persistent, leaving a lingering impression of savory spice and a touch of minerality.

It also shines alongside traditional dishes featuring mushrooms and game birds.
