Colour: Straw yellow with golden highlights.
Bouquet: Charming smell with smoky and crusty notes. Hazelnuts, almonds and cashew, but also vanilla and cinnamon enrich a bouquet which is typical of the origin area.
Taste: Fine balance between freshness and smoothness with a long elegant aromatic persistence. Subtle hints of vanilla and spices elevate the flavours of the wine. The round mouthfeel is balanced by fresh and sapid notes. |
