Description

A rosé that does not follow the pack, the fruit of a targeted selection of red grapes. Lumera 2022 is characterised by a fruity and flowery bouquet. A very pleasant wine designed for those who love fruity and structured rosés.

Brilliant pink, Lumera 2022 offers a wide and fragrant bouquet with fruity notes of wild strawberries and pomegranate combined with delicate flowery scents of violets. The palate is fresh and savoury with excellent structure, pleasant persistence, and reminiscence of fruity notes.
