Nasze wina

Sympatyczna mieszanka Cabernet Sauvignon i Shiraz z dodatkiem gron Merlot. Wino owocowe z subtelnym posmakiem gorzkiej czekolady i pikantnych dębowych nut. Dobre do picia już teraz ale można odłożyć do piwniczki na 2-6 lat, aby ładnie dojrzało w butelce.

TASTING NOTES
Red berry fruit aromatics are complemented by spice reminiscent of cloves and nutmeg. A supple tannin structure with hints of dark chocolate flavours is revealed on the palate oak matured for 14 months.
