The "Nees Rizes" are not so new since they come from a combination of vineyards, the oldest of which in cups and traditional "aplotaria" are 150 years old.

The purity of the aromas of rose, mint, ripe strawberry and red cherry bring to mind more of a refreshing summer juice. The fine textured - so-so - tannins on the palate provide the dose of seriousness that even a cool...
