Visual appearance
Pretty bright pale gold colour.
At nose
Elegant and fine with notes of white fruit and acacia flowers.
On the palate
Full and round. The fruits are accompanied by floral notes supported by a well-integrated woodiness that respects the aromas. The expression is long and supported by a beautiful freshness. The finish gives way to notes of white peach and fresh pineapple.
