TASTING NOTES
We like to describe this wine as a Merlot with a kiss of Prokupac.
Color: Deep ruby red, crystal sharp light reflections.
Nose: Plums, raspberry, red fruits, with subtle notes of spices and hints of vanilla.
On the palate: Medium bodied, elegant and juicy, with fresh acids, dominant fruity character with touch of spices which come from Prokupac. It is well-balanced, red fruits, easy tannins and a soft finish are the characteristics of this wine, and has a long fruity finish with spicy echo.
Great companion with a wide range of international food, light meats as well as lightly-spiced dark meats
Decanting is recommended.
This wine has twice won a silver medal at China Wine and Spirits Awards in 2013 and in 2016.
