Description

A white wine with great structure. Intense straw yellow with alluring golden reflections, rich and elegant scents of orange blossom, banana, peach, pineapple and sweet, light notes of oak, vanilla and butter with delicate hints of coconut and white chocolate. It opens with refined flavour, fresh fruit and sapid, delicate citrus acidity; a long finish of excellent persistence.
