TASTING NOTE
Bright yellow colour. On the nose, aromas of fresh citrus fruits and white flowers. Very expressive at taste, showing flavours of stone fruits such as pear and peach, lemon flavours and tropical fruits such as Litchi; honeysuckle, chamomile, and a hint of ginger adds subtle spiciness. With a mineral background, ripe, unctuous and fleshy in mouth. A very intense wine of remarkable personality, with volume and vibrant acidity, and a wide and structured palate.
