Unwritten Poem Lava Love - 2022 - Tiwari House

Light and playful, ruby-hued beauty perfect for summer sipping, expressing passion & power of volcanic terroir! While we all grooved to Summer of 69, this light red wine is loved by all. It is made from 100% Kékfrankos (Blaufränkish) grape variety. Buttermilk and caramel notes on the nose are followed by bursts of raspberry and cherry. With super light tannins and refreshing butterscotch palate, its unforgiving fruit yogurt taste lingers long, offering a nice blend of fruits and finesse that will leave you wanting more.
