Tasting notes and serving recommendations

The wine has a delicate salmon color and opens with fresh herbal and red berry aromas, revealing violet, barberry, elderberry, fennel, strawberry, and red currant, along with subtle earthy undertones and smokiness that add depth and complexity. Aged in Qvevri for 18 months, the wine has developed refined structure and textural richness while maintaining its vibrant freshness. On the palate, it is dry and lively, with bright acidity and a balanced, elegant finish. Made without fining or filtration, the wine may contain natural lees, contributing to its texture and character. Serve chilled at 10–12 °C, best enjoyed after light aeration. Pairs beautifully with charcuterie, grilled salmon, roasted poultry, Mediterranean salads, and soft cheeses, where its freshness and layered aromas can truly shine.
