 Although traced by grenache and merlot, the cabernet sauvignon grapes lend this wine its strong body, the long taste on the palate and such a peculiar aroma. Its deep red colour anticipates this will be a long lasting taste wine in one’s mouth. The ripe fruit aroma blends with the vanilla-scented traces acquired during the wine’s settling in an oak barrel. Although it is already a very balanced wine, undoubtedly a brilliant future awaits it.
