Winemaker's Note
Bright golden-yellow color. Dominant aromas of white flowers and stone fruits on the nose complemented by subtle vanilla notes from the barrel. The aromatic intensity rolls onto the rich and full-bodied mouth where the oily sensation is masterfully balanced by the vibrant crispness. Very long finish.
