Advice
Tasting
Fragrant and spry
Clear, bright wine with a lovely very pale salmon-pink hue. A clean, elegant and luscious nose evocative of peaches and apricots interwoven with fresher notes of pomelo. On aeration, some candied citrus notes and hints of aromatic herbs can be detected along with a mineral fragrance. The wine is round and fleshy on entry to a luscious palate that brings us an elegant and spry restitution of the fruity fragrances found on the nose. The whole is soft with a delectable fruitiness and lovely freshness.
