Light pink blush in colour, this is what summer drinking is all about. Arrays of strawberries, raspberries, candy floss and hints of kirsch liqueur are found on the nose that follow through on the palate with a refreshing aftertaste. Juicy and charming with bright, vibrant freshness and berry character to be enjoyed anytime of the day!
