Wine Description
Cherry red with lightening edges, a scent of raspberry, cherry, spices, fresh hay and almond blossom. Roasted almonds on the palate, spicy, fruity. Long, powerful finish, velvety tannins. An exceptional representative of its variety in many respects.
Food Pairing
Goes well with Vitello Tonnato, pasta dishes also with fish and cheese, slightly chilled with tuna and of course with bacon or with a chard roulade with buckwheat filling and a fine paprika sauce.
Winery
For over 30 years, the Kränzelhof in Tscherms has been producing wine on-site and also offers a garden to visit, featuring rotating art exhibitions and culinary experiences at the Miil and Essbar restaurants.
