Tasting Notes
The wine has pale straw colouration with olive green reflections. Initially the nose is a complex aroma of stone fruits, melons, tobacco and ripe pears. This is followed by almond, subtle oak, fresh citrus and floral notes. On the palate pear and nashi pear fruit combine with subtle oak and lees characters. The wine is zesty, fresh with soft, rounded acidity, which gives the wine good length and generosity with a fine tannin structure.
