Wine Description
‘Maija’ Pinot Noir pours a bright garnet hue, offering an inviting visual appeal. On the nose, it presents a lush bouquet of ripe red cherries, dried strawberries, and lifted floral notes, complemented by subtle hints of forest floor, dried thyme, and graphite. The palate reveals a slightly richer expression, with herbaceous undertones intermingling with darker fruit flavors such as bramble berries and blackberries. The wine showcases great length on the finish, characterized by a wonderful grip and release of subtle, juicy tannins.
Food Pairing
This Pinot Noir pairs beautifully with dishes such as roasted quail, grilled salmon, or a mixed mushroom risotto. The wine’s depth and character are highlighted when enjoyed alongside these culinary delights, creating an unforgettable dining experience.
