Features
First and foremost: This wine is fizzy. Whether because of secondary fermentation* or elven magic, there is an effervescence to this wine that blows off after an hour or so. The nose has notes of cherries and red berries; luscious cherries and piquant blackberries and notes of sage and cedar; tar and pepper; nutmeg and mint on the palate. Supple tannins clutch and nuanced finish.
*Secondary fermentation occurs when traces of sugar and yeast are left in the wine after bottling.The wine develops a little bit of spritz or tiny bubbles.
