Description from the Producer
Winemaker, Rene Van Ede, selects this wine from the best barrels in the cellar and the best parcels from the vineyard, its built for both pleasure & longevity.
An elegant expression of finesse and charm, this vintage opens with delicate floral aromas that lead into a vibrant palate of raspberry and subtle vanilla undertones. Silky texture and refined balance make it a graceful and lingering experience.
Pair with Slow Braised Beef Short Rib or smoked Brisket
