Description
TASTING NOTES
Deep dark-purple colour with a vibrant and intense ruby rim. Aromas of ripe wild berries
on the nose, combined with notes of violet, black pepper and hints of eucalyptus leaf. In the
mouth the rm tannins stand out, together with a vibrant and crisp acidity. All aromas are
perfectly combined, with aftertaste avours of raspberry, blackberry and apricot, ending in
a long and enduring nish, so characteristic of Kopke.

cheesecake and medium avour cheese. Best served at a temperature between 16 and 18°C.
