Named 'acorn muncher' after the Iberian black pigs, it is fermented and aged in stainless steel to preserve its fresh fruit character. It bursts with ripe and juicy blackberry, black cherry, and plum flavours, complemented by generous aromas of strawberries and raspberries. The palate is vibrant and supple with elegant tannins, balanced acidity, and a lovely fresh finish. This vegan and vegetarian-friendly wine pairs wonderfully with pork, lamb, and poultry.
