Metzer | Family Mantra

The Vibe

If you find traditional reds too heavy or tannic, the Mantra is going to be a revelation. Driven by Cinsault, it is brilliantly light on its feet. It smells like a basket of fresh red berries and is so smooth it practically glides across your palate. Pro-tip: chill it in the fridge for 20 minutes before pouring for maximum refreshment.
