Description

Praise

Smoky, spicy apricots on the nose. Very sweet but with intense freshness on the palate of bitter orange, the oak adding texture and complexity without obvious oak flavour except that spicy quality. Mouth-watering yet luscious, viscous and mouth-filling with great length. Beautifully balanced with long ageing potential

– Julia Harding M.W.

An intense golden yellow, the wine releases aromas of dried peaches and apricots, along with spicy notes. The palate is unctuous and offers plenty of body, with delicate freshness and a long aftertaste.

– vinissimus.co.uk

Bright golden colour. In the nose intense, delicate and complex. A clearly mineral sensation mixes with floral notes, ripe exotic fruits and citric memories; in the background, pastries and jellies. In the mouth it is a party: flavoursome, fresh, powerful and balanced smoothness. Long and persistent.

A new concept of white wine. Fresh and vivid with hints of grapefruit, stone fruit and floral flavours. Pure silk to the palate, with a balanced sweetness and a long smooth finish.

– Bartolomé Sánchez in MiVino
