Tasting Note

The wine has a pale gold colour and its movement in the glass indicates a full-bodied and dense mouthfeel. On the nose, the terroir gives way to aromas of lactic and orange blossom mixed with notes of fennel and pastry when opened. The wine has a dense mouthfeel with good acidity and persistence.
