Production: Hand-harvested and macerated on the skins for several hours to attain a gorgeous light pink hue. Fermented and aged in stainless steel tanks.
Ripe, floral notes of violets, strawberries and other red berries. Excellent acidity and a firm mineral core provide the backbone for gorgeous earth and berries with nice acidity. Very complex and persistent with forward, showy fruit.
