Characteristics

Elegance, finesse, complexity and concentration of fruit – full bodied.

Tasting Notes
Attractive aromas of nectarine, winter melon and quince. These aromas carry through onto a creamy palate that finishes with a lively acidity with hints of ginger and a leesy complexity. Medium bodied with a long finish. Excellent ageing potential and superb versatility with a wide variety of dishes complete this irresistible package.
