The Krispels 2022
Krispel WineryPale golden yellow in the glass, toffee, redcurrant, baked apple, popcorn and a certain exoticism on the nose. Soft on the palate, with a wonderful mellowness. With air and warmth, the transformation begins: as soon as you think you have grasped the wine, a new aroma emerges. Like a voyage of discovery. The well-integrated wood and the delicate acidity give the wine longevity.
