Tasting Notes
COLOR:
Golden yellow with bright straw highlights.
NOSE:
Aromas of ripe apple, pear, and tropical fruits like pineapple and mango are complemented by notes of vanilla, caramel, and a touch of butter from oak aging. Subtle hints of toasted almond and baking spices round out the nose.
TASTE:
Full-bodied and creamy, the palate reveals layers of ripe apple, pear, and stone fruits, balanced by hints of butterscotch and vanilla. There’s a rich, buttery texture from malolactic fermentation, with well-integrated oak adding complexity without overpowering the fruit. A vibrant acidity keeps the wine fresh and lively.
FINISH:
The finish is long and smooth, with lingering notes of ripe fruit, vanilla, and a touch of toasted oak.
