Domaine de Mignaberry

Tasting notes

Winemaker’s notes: Intense purple color with lots of brilliance. The bouquet gives an impression of ripe grapes with lots of freshness. it is complex, with a subtle oak balance and a spicy and fruity finish. On the palate the attack is rich with silky tannins and a good aromatic persistence.
Food pairing: Game, strong red meat, and strong cheese.
