Tasting Notes
Golden yellow colour, finely matured aroma, orange caramel, candied pineapple, roasted almond, dried citrus fruits. Delicate acidity on the palate; powerful sweetness takes over. The wine shows a lot of savouriness, candied citrus fruits, and also mango juice. Still young, finishes fresh, with good ageing potential.
