Description
Nador 2015
Reed Stuala
Blaufränkisch/Kékfrankos
Now you have a luxury problem. A wine that comes from our best and oldest vines, grown on the slate soils of our most valuable sites. Its aging of several years already brings out the most elegant nuances of a Kékfranko. However, its excellent shelf life allows it to climb to an even higher level. Made for those who can wait a few years. But – who can?
