The grapes were then pressed and only then was the clear juice racked. The wine remained on less 3 months before being prepared for bottling.Tasting Notes:Pale pink. Intense aromas of raspberry, strawberry and redcurrant with a hint of pepper. Rich palette with refreshing bright red fruit and peppery character. Apparently dry, with attractive fruit-sweetness.Food Style:To be drunk by itself, or with a wide range of dishes, including ones prepared with oriental spices.
