Wine Description

After aging in oak, it acquired deeper golden colour. Intense, and aromatic on the nose, we can sense fully ripe Sauvignon Blanc which have almost lost its typical green edge, with notes of gooseberry, blood peaches, as well as mango and passion fruit with touch of oak. Compact. Dry on the palate medium to full bodied with good level of ripe acidities.
