Mas de Daumas Gassac
Moulin de Gassac Grenache
The color is elegant light red. On the nose, a fruit forward and complex nose of fresh raspberry, strawberry and wild garrigue herbs. On the palate, with mouthwatering fresh fruit. A light bodied style with velvety tannins. And fruity and fresh finish.
