This easy sipper comes with the recommendation to be served lightly chilled. Having tried it at an early spring room temperature of probably 75 then again at a chillier 55, I certainly agree. The coolness brings out red currants and roses while taming the earthiness. Neither long nor particularly profound, it has lots of good energy.

Seriously impressed by what they've done with a tricky grape here: light, savoury, peppery. Innovative, valid, delicious.

A very pleasant wine with loads of fruit and a smooth, subtle finish.

Light on it's feet, however enough depth to keep my attention on the glass. Enjoyed this one a lot! Good QPR!

Beautiful bouquet with hints of strawberry and rose petals. This intriguing wine also has slight notes of "brett" and goaty with cherry light tannins. Complex and different.

Pure temptation ! A wonderful, clear, elegant, stylish shiny red with a delicately perfumed, fresh, fruity nose. A sniffer wine. Light, super fresh taste of forest strawberries and rose petals, enticing sweetness, smooth, aromatic, a very special festive wine. Lingering, warm, makes you want more. Not a dinner wine but excellent on its own.
