Color
transparent, bright cherry red
Nose
The colour is as fresh, bright and clear as the Pinot Noir Also on the nose. It is reminiscent of sour cherries and redcurrants, a few wild strawberries and barberries in combination with fine herbal nuances and a little rock.
Palate
On the palate, this is a silky and juicy wine with a round mouthfeel and a slightly electrifying minerality. The tannin remains discreet but structured in the background. The fruit brings a little charming sweetness. Overall, this is a Pinot Noir that is pleasantly easy to drink, uncomplicated and fresh.
