Tasting notes

 

  • Colour : Bright gold
  • Nose : Very elegant with a quintessence of dry fruits, peach, vanilla and floral aromas.
  • Palate : Rich, fresh and mellow with a very long persistence finishing on dry apricot and bread crust notes
  • Food pairing : serve at 10 to 12°C, preferably with seafood and fish dishes, white meats, blue cheeses, tarts and fruit desserts. A perfect companion for medium spicy food .This wine will also be very enjoyable alone as a relaxing drink.
