Tasting Characteristics
Pale lemon colour with gold tints. On the nose the wine is dominated by ripe apricot and white peach aromas, while on the backround a light sense of oak is revealed gently. The palate is dry and round. The aromatic explosion of the yellow, but not overripen citrus fruits, the nectar sense and the elegant aromas by the oak maturation, appears at first. Then, the dry nuts and the moderate acidity create an impressive tasty result . The aftertaste is long, fruity and complex.
