Winemaker tasting notes

Nose: “Delicate floral aromas interlace with scents of hawthorn and acacia honey in a display of the bouquet’s infinite finesse. Accents of ripe stone fruits and bergamot bring a lively freshness, before opening into notes of ripe fruit, sweet almond, and yellow skinned fruit.”

Palate: “A silky texture unfolds with ethereal finesse, bringing subtle elegance and perfect balance. The finish is both long and delicate.”
