“Fruity, with elegant tannins and good balance”
A wonderful introduction to the world of “La Verde,” the Vacqueyras Prélude offers subtle aromas of red berries (redcurrant, raspberry, crushed strawberry) that give way to notes of violet and garrigue. On the palate, it is smooth and velvety, with well-integrated, elegant tannins and a long finish featuring notes of morello cherry.
