Blindfolded, you reach for the glass. The world narrows to scent and taste, touch and sound. A whisper of crushed raspberries, a hint of forest floor after rain, the subtle crackle of a candle's flame.
The first sip is a revelation: light-bodied yet intense, with notes of wild strawberries, a touch of clove, and a finish that lingers like a secret. The wine dances on your tongue, teasing, tantalizing, demanding your full attention.
You pair it with seared duck breast, the skin crisp and glistening; a wedge of aged gouda, its sharpness cutting through the wine's fruitiness; and a bowl of truffle-infused risotto, each bite a symphony of flavours.
In this moment, deprived of sight, your other senses come alive, each heightened by the wine's allure.
