Wine Description

Appearance:

Semi intense yellow with golden reflexes.Very slow tears.

Aromas:

Intense aromas of honey, vanilla, tangerine, toasted bread and butter.

Palate:

Wide and sweet attack. The midpalate is very balanced, elegant and the acidity very well integrated with the sweetness. Big volume in mouth and long on the finish. This wine is very aromatic and it presents the advantage of balancing perfectly the acidity and the sweetness in an elegant and soft set that does not tire the papillas. It was made with grapes harvested later in the season, to concentrate the flavors and the sugar .

Serving suggestions:

Pairs well with appetizers, with foie gras, desserts and chocolate, it is an ideal wine. Enjoy fresh at 50ºF (10ºC) in one year.
