Tasting note
Pale, slightly cloudy yellow. Pungent aromas of lemon, lime, spices and iodine are lifted by an almost metallic topnote. Then almost shockingly rich and sweet in the mouth and softer than the nose suggests, offering powerful flavors of yellow peach, lichee and spices. This hugely concentrated, slightly saline wine offers terrific plushness and depth of fruit if a bit less minerality than usual in the early going. But the backward, slightly phenolic finish suggests that this wine will need extended bottle aging. Production here was just 30 hectoliters per hectare. Score - 92-95.

Under the straw yellow colour, the medium and complex nose evokes empyreumatic, floral, fruity and mineral notes. On the palate, it offers a broad mouthfeel that leads into a long finish. Enjoy this dry, full-bodied and fruity white featuring lively acidity.
