This wine is defined by its oak influence, with notes of pear and apple and relatively low acidity.

Oak aging adds complexity and layered flavours, though the strong oak character may not suit everyone.

For a subtler profile, serve slightly cooler. To highlight its full complexity, serve at around 13°C.

Overall, an interesting, oak-driven wine for those who enjoy bold character.
