TASTING NOTE:
In the glass this wine has a bright, clear yellow colour, with undertones of white gold.
The nose shows a buttered character, brioche, and a mix of white flower notes, peach and apricot.
A wonderful wine that opens with a sharp and lively attack, but not too much. The palate is balanced and complex, with a good persistence supported by a slight salinity.
