This is extremely floral with rose stem undertones. Hints of candied cherries and orange peel. Medium to full body with a tannin structure that grows on your palate. It’s chewy and rather linear with a crunchy finish. Nice blue fruit with a beeswax undertone. Give it time to soften. Drink after 2026.

Filtering: Before bottling with PP cartridges of 5 micron

Sulphur: values can vary from 15 to 50 mg/l., added or not, depending on the quality of grapes and stability of the wine.
