Red blend, characterised by the terroir of Goričko. Blaufränkisch, Zweigelt and a bit of … Try guess what!
NOIR
TASTING NOTES
Deeply purple coloured, opaque. The bouquet is harmonious, but compact, with many impressions of black fruit, earth, dry spices, even an animal, fleshy note is found, smoke. Dry, firm, the texture is velvety, the tannins are supple. Elevated acidity. The spiciness of Blaufränkisch is nicely indicated in the mouth. A wine full of flavor, at the moment still a bit robust, but with beautiful potential.
