This fruit forward red wine is friendly both on the nose and the pallet. Vinum Rouge promotes Syrah’s traditional notes of blueberry and mulberry elegantly balanced with Merlot’s hints of ripened plum and mild spices.
The red inky color provides for an attractively dense treat full of Jamy boysenberry and fruit cake, the medium acidity and mild earthiness then gives way to a supple mouthfeel, followed by a medium finish of green peppercorn and licorice.

The grapes macerate in stainless steel vats between 10 and 15 days to remain on the fruit with a pleasant suppleness on the palate, where we can distinguish aromas of raspberry and blackcurrant with a greedy finish.
