Tasting Notes

Vibrantly bright platinum gold appearance with pronounced green hue. The expressive nose is complex with lime and lemongrass and a creamy, yellow apple bouquet. The nose also exhibits toasted nuts, marzipan and honey notes. On the palate the wine is full bodied and generous, retaining a vivacious freshness and crisp acidity. The mid palate is packed with a creamy mouth-feel and expressive minerality and the wine has a long, lingering pleasant aftertaste.
