Tasting Notes

Solpost is a deeply colored wine. The fruit comes forward on the nose together with some spicy notes, all accompanied by a pleasant freshness. In the mouth, these pleasurable aromas reappear and reveal a complex wine, capable of combining silkiness with structure. Pleasant, round, elegant and lingering, Solpost offers pleasure on many levels.
