Nose: vibrant bramble fruit aromas, with bramble blackberry standing out as the star performer, reminiscent of a sun-drenched berry patch in late summer.
Palate: invigorating freshness, characterized by its green and elegant undertones. Sage emerges gracefully, blending seamlessly with the green herbal nuances to create a harmonious profile that's captivating without being overpowering. Woody tones weave their magic subtly, presenting a grounded character without the dominance of overt oakiness.
Texture: delicate, soft mouthfeel. Yet, the underlying tannic structure is unmistakable, ensuring a robust backbone that promises longevity suitable for aging. Alcohol: 13.7%
