Crimson red with iridescent vibrancy is the tell tale sign of bright crunchy red fruits. The spice infused nose lifts with lingonberries and charcuterie. The palate entry is full, but has a savoury line which is supported by a lively snappy texture reminiscent of persimmon beads and cranberries. It finishes bone dry with purposely built tannin.
