Description
Ripe pineapple, melon and orange blossom flavours dominates on the nose supported by hints of lemon rind and dried apricots. Flavours of white peach, cashew nuts and caramel linger on the pallet. The wine has a brilliant linear acidity and dominant dense core with layered sweetness due to the natural fermentation component. The roundness on the pallet and a beautifully integrated texture of the oak flavours supported by a creamy finish coats your mouth and make you want to spend more time in the presence of this big and balanced wine.
