Tasting notes
Fuschia pink with violet highlights. A very aromatic nose of red fruits (raspberries) and boiled sweets. No suprise to find the intense fruity flavours of raspberries and strawberries on the palate. A slightly fresh lemony finish.
Food pairing
Enjoy with oriental dishes or as an aperitif.
