Notes: Produced for the German speaking markets, "Fabelhaft" translates as fabulous, phenomenal or scrumptious.

Maker's tasting notes - It is a dark ruby wine with an intense dark and red fruit aroma with spicy character. On palate it is young, appealing and fresh, with fruity tannins, good acidity and appealing structure.

Somnambulist's verdict: Fabulous is about right. Fruity, complex but very quaffable. Tremendous value for money.
