Tasting
The attack has light oak influence : the exotic fruits (passion fruit, pineapple, mango, peach, apricot) are subtle. Without any sensation of sugar, this is a pure and clean wine.
Made from the high quality of the soil layers beneath the surface (well integrated and blended). The creamy finish fills us with elegance and delicacy in an exotic tone. Delicious!
