Indigenous Yeast Yes

Closure Natural Cork
Production Details The grapes are described as hand-picked and fermented as whole clusters with indigenous yeasts. Very little sulfur is used, only at bottling. Maturation is described as extended oak aging with restrained new-oak influence. Alko recommends serving at approximately 16–18°C. The page lists acids as 5.2 g, but the extracted record does not state the analytical basis or denominator; this observation is therefore not normalized as total_acidity_gl.
Tasting Notes Ruby-colored, medium-bodied and medium-tannic, with forest-berry fruit and light spice
Food Pairing Mushrooms; game birds; mild cheeses
