smooth
coated tannins
red berries

"Fruity, elegant tannins and well-balanced"

A wonderful introduction to the world of La Verde, Vacqueyras Prélude develops subtle aromas of red berries (redcurrant, raspberry, crushed strawberry) opening up to notes of violet and garrigue. The palate is smooth and mellow, with elegant, well-integrated tannins and a long finish with notes of morello cherry.
