Tasting Notes
Medium golden yellow, silver reflections. Delicate notes of candied mandarin zest, fine yellow mango, nuances of meadow herbs and almonds, mineral undertones. Full-bodied, powerful but not exuberant, finesse-rich structure, long-lasting, a hint of blossom honey on the finish, salty and multi-layered, a versatile food companion with further ageing potential. The classic from the top vineyard Kastanjari near Buja.
