Medium bodied white wine. Great food wine.
Bright yellow in colour, this beautifully made wine has an attractive bouquet of peach, nectarines and marzipan. The wine is medium bodied with flavours of orange, yellow plum and tangerine on the palate. These flavours are supported by the delicate use of oak which allows them to shine and brings structure to this refined wine. A long finish and lasting aftertaste.
