Intense golden yellow colour with green hues. On the nose, it is fresh and elegant with notes of white peach and green apple, pineapple and delicate hints of lemon. On the palate, the entire mouth is pervaded by a marked freshness that accompanies the entire tasting experience. The body is voluminous and structured, accompanied by silky tannins that caress the palate. Citrus notes of grapefruit and fresh elderflower emerge. The finish is savoury and persistent, worthy of a great ageing wine.
