10% discount for 6 or more wines
A light, fresh, and easy drinking red from coastal Croatia!
Fruit forward on the aroma, with juicy plum and cherry, spiced jams, and stewed fruits. More plum and cherry goodness on the palate, accompanied by cranberry, bramble, raisins, figs, sweet baking spices (cinnamon and cloves), giving it a delightful spice fruit bread character. Light and balanced, with young, relaxed tannins for an enjoyably textured mouthfeel.
Perfect in the evening after a long day at the beach, serve with a slight chill.
