Tasting Notes

Tasting from 16.10.2023: Othmar Kiem, Simon Staffler

Dark ruby red with almost black core. Aromas of currants and cranberries on the nose, green bell pepper, undergrowth and slightly balsamic notes. Fresh and juicy on the palate, with good flow, well integrated tannins and spicy finish.
