Wine Description
Colour is medium deep golden. Medium intense on the nose with both floral/fruity and mineral notes. It is reminiscent of lemons, orange peel, peaches, honey and wet stones. Youth and maturity are appearing hand in hand here. Very dry on the palate with high acidities, typical for the region but very ripe which is a typicity of 2016 vintage. Light to medium bodied, one of the more elegant expressions of this wine to date. The texture is slightly viscous. With rather long finish, still quite young.

Our vineyards cover 73 hectares, and the vintners work with a great respect for nature and tradition as well as a keen sense of trends.
