Beautiful soft, clear & silky smooth pale ruby colour
 
On the nose its soft warm & some spice, light red fruit, little perfume of Gewurzt.
 
These 2 grapes together are a match made in haven. The Gewurzt really elevates this wine I think.
 
A very round but lighter style wine, that attacks your taste buds straight away with round & clean red fruit.
After that some soft spice & herbal flavours come through, but they are surrounded by delicious fruit notes of the wine
