Tasting Comment
Appearance
This wine has a relatively deep straw-yellow colour.
Nose
The nose is fairly developed, with overtones of musk, beeswax, flowers (acacia), peaches, and pears. There are also aromas reminiscent of candied fruit.
Mouth
The wine features flavours of white fruit and acacia on the palate, with pleasant honey nuances. The mouth feel is fairly rich and there is a slight bitterness on the finish. This wine is ideal as an aperitif or with fish, seafood, and poultry.
