Winemaker's Notes

Beautiful limpid and gold colour in its youth, which takes on amber hues with age. Its bouquet breathes exotic fruit notes with citrus and pineapple, revealing rich honey aromas, grilled almonds and cinnamon. The mouth is ample round and fresh with a long well-balanced finish. This wine has great ageing potential.
