2022 Wijngoed Monteberg "Rood" 0.75 Ltr. Rood
picture of

This red wine is pretty intense color with purple tints. A pleasant lighter structure, which perfectly reflects our climate. The wine is best served at 16°C. The wine should be opened in advance to 3 hours to come into its own. We experienced a nose of blackberries, cherries and almond aromas, a strong bite, peony and straw. It is best drunk within 6 years.

This wine can be served perfectly with a grilled meat dish or cheese.

climate

South facing slopes (some SW or SE). Protection in the north by woods. A short distance from the coast (temperate oceanic climate), favorably against frost.
