Nose
The rich and complex aromas are accentuated by the natural ripeness of our grapes with hints of golden apple, raspberries, fresh apricot, yellow peach, a flowery character of orange blossoms, Peony, and a hint of honeysuckle as well as nutty tones of fresh almonds.
Palate
On the palate, it is an explosion of white and red berry flavors, with creamy layers of white cherry, yellow plums, fresh pear and vanilla, underlined by a refreshing acidity. The long-lasting finish is dominated by freshly baked biscuit, toast and nutty flavors. The acidity is bright, crisp and refreshing, giving this wine an exceptional longevity.
