TASTING NOTES

Beautiful peach, salmon-pink colour and quite deep. Wonderful glimpse - though fleeting - of strawberry jam before more oxidised, caramel and buttery, even mocha notes. The palate has lots of lemony acidity making it immediately focused, quite lean and food-friendly. The freshness of the red fruit adds to this lightness of touch, with a delightfully long finish too, a touch of orange peel.

Alc: 12%
