Medium-full in structure, the wine is rich in flavor without being bold in body. Its lean
and succulent flavours end in a clean, dry and elegant finish with the supple tannins adding to the over-all length.
Food Pairing The elegance and fruitiness of the wine allow for pairings with a variety of meat, game and poultry dishes with favour being given to crispy duck spring rolls with plum souce and truffle and mushroom filo tartlets.
