Tasting notes
Golden with bronze reflections. Notes of honey, fruit jellies , quince and candied citrus. Aromas of marzipan and blood orange complement a nose full of sweet spices and a refreshing hint of menthol. Serious , understated and rich, beautifully expansive with a finish full of confit citrus which enhances the wine’s freshness.
