Testing Notes Light yellow colour, powerful complexity of aromas (exotic fruit, blackcurrant blossom, grapefruit and peach) with floral notes. Well balanced, long and buttery in month, a fresh and fruity seductive wine. Best served at 10°C over fish, seafood or as an aperitif. Cellared for 2 years. At its best during the 1st year. |
