red berries

"Fruity, elegant tannins and balance".

An excellent introduction to the world of "La Verde", Vacqueyras Prélude develops subtle aromas of red berries (redcurrant, raspberry, crushed strawberry), opening up to notes of violet and garrigue. Smooth and suave on the palate, with elegant, coated tannins and a long finish of morello cherry.
