Tasting notes
Golden straw colored wine. The wine has a dense taste with dominant tones of fruit and oak barrels, which are in perfect balance. Crisp acidity gives a feeling of freshness and is accentuated in a long aftertaste with light smoky and creamy undertones. The wine's expressive aroma is filled with bright tones of ripe stone fruit (peach, pear, apricot) and refreshing citrus notes, accentuated by undertones of muffins, toast and butter.
