Wine Description:
The addition of the Dornfelder grape, known best for its deep, delicious color has greatly enhanced the ruby highlights in this wine. A medium intense nose reveals sour cherry, vanilla, chocolate and suggestions of woodiness. Soft in the mouth, another Dornfelder contribution, the flavours centre on licorice, cherry and coffee.

Suggested Food Accompaniments:
A delightfully easy going wine, its velvety texture and red fruit characteristics make it ideal for pot roasts, stews, Moussaka and creamy cheeses.
