In the glass
Aroma: floral red fruits

Jaen-dominated at eighty percent, bright and vivid with floral red fruits and a stony savoury undertow rather than any oak sweetness.
What it pairs with
-

Mushroom and barley risotto
The stony savoury register lines up with earthy grains and fungi. -
Charcoal-grilled chicken
Floral red fruit and low tannin make this an easy match for simply grilled birds.
