SAURUS SELECT PINOT NOIR
During the construction of the winery, fossilized bones of an herbivorous dinosaur that roamed the earth 75 million years ago were discovered, inspiring the brand Saurus.
This Pinot Noir shows rubi red color with bright flashes. Attractive ripe raspberries, strawberries and black cherries on the nose and palate with an outstanding fresh and velvety mouth feel. Lots of subtleties and elegance.
