Wine Description
Bright scintillating yellow in the glass. Initially the aroma is fruity reminiscent of apricot, orange, acacia and lime blossom with an underlying mineral note of wet stone; fresh and lively in the mouth, concentrated, tasty, full though still slender; a wine of great character, density and structure, with a good acidity level and impressive persistence.
