Price Quality This grape was totally unknown to me. A native grape, which produced a taste which can not be compared to other ubiquitous varieties. I used it at a tasting session with ten friends, all scored it 10/10 for nose, colour and taste. I would like to revisit this vintage in 5-10 years time.
