Tasting notes
- Appearance
Ruby-red, with hints of garnet. - Nose
Lovely notes of strawberry jam, cherry liqueur, ripe cherries, some rose petals, cinnamon, and dark chocolate. All of these are complemented by subtle hints of wood and vanilla from aging in large oak barrels. - Palate
The predominant taste is of overripe fruits and aromas from the oak wood. It's a robust Pinot noir, full-bodied, with firm yet fine tannins and good acidity that also helps maintain the structure. It maintains all these qualities until the end, with a long and elegant finish. - Food pairing
Stews of all kinds, mushrooms, stuffed cabbage rolls, turkey stew, duck breast, and pasta with tomato-based sauces.

- Vineyard owner: Vitis Metamorfosis
- Harvesting: manual, in the middle of September.
- Weather in year of harvest: the year 2020 was prolific for the vineyards of Metamorfosis. A large number of sunny days, low precipitation, and temperatures within normal ranges led to a healthy harvest. There were no abundant snowfalls in winter, as in previous years, and the spring rains provided the necessary soil moisture reserve for the entire year. This helped the vines tolerate drought and the high summer heat, both during the day and at night. In the fall, during the grape harvest, rainfall was completely absent, and temperatures were high.
