Characteristics of the Wine
Colour • Intense. Lemon yellowish with subtle golden hints. Very bright.
Nose • Intense and complex. Great finesse. Hints of beeswax, acacia flower, citrus crust.
Palate • Luscious attack. Well-balanced evolution, silky without being heavy, lifted thanks to a good acidity and citrus freshness. Very persistent. Aftertaste of dried fig, flower honey.
