Tasting Notes

Deep ruby in the glass. Plum and fresh mint up front, with a soft touch of violet. Dry and full bodied, with firm tannins, good freshness, and a long finish. Lovely now, and it will keep developing for several more years.

Serve & Pair

Serve at about 18°C (64°F), and open it 30 minutes before pouring to let the tannins soften. Pairs with grilled steak, lamb chops with herbs, grilled meats and qofte, game, and aged cheeses.

Why We Chose It

We choose this wine because most people already know Cabernet Sauvignon, so this is an easy first Albanian wine to try. What makes this one good is the balance. It is full and rich, but it stays fresh, with plum, a little mint, and firm tannins that stand up well to food.
