Tasting notes

brilliant straw-yellow colour with a green shimmer. Very fine, fruity (apples, peaches), uplifted varietal aroma combined with very well integrated oak spice on the nose. Clean, elegant, grapey flavour, medium bodied with a round and fresh mouth-watering finish. When cellared well, this wine may be kept for 3 to 5 years.
