Duftmæssigt er vinen lidt grøn og grenet i starten, har lidt græs og ellers både hindbær, litchi og en smule jordbær. Der er nogle tørre, lidt krydrede noter, sødme og endda mellemøstlige krydderier. I munden er det lidt samme historie … tør og let sød frugt, hindbær samt tranebær, mens syren er lidt vag og afdæmpet. Til gengæld er der nogen bitterhed, søde krydderier og krydret varme.
Vinmageren skriver om denne vin:
The wine has a delightfully delicate, salmon pink colour. It displays a bright bouquet of Turkish delight, raspberry coulis, passion fruit, and taught grapefruit. The palate is well rounded but refreshingly vibrant, packed with red berry flavours, seductive floral undertones, and a pleasant citrus twist.
Food Pairing: Pair with spicy Thai prawns, grilled Portuguese sardines, or a fresh tomato, feta and pomegranate salad.
VINIFICATION
Grapes are picked at optimum ripeness in the early hours of the morning before being destemmed and chilled before pressing. This short route, from vine to press, ensures minimal degradation of the fruit aromas and a very moderate extraction of colour. All free-run juice is kept separate from the colour fraction to ensure a deliciously subtle salmon colour. The juice is cold settled to remove any coarseness and fermentation is done in stainless steel tanks. The wine is 100% unoaked. A six-month period of maturation on the yeast lees promotes richness and complexity.
