Wine description & Food pairing
Analysis

Wine with a clear, golden-yellow color with an oily texture.

Its bouquet is accentuated, sophisticated. We detect ripe yellow apple, dried persimmon slices, gooseberries. Eventually, scents of bergamot, lemon, dried flowers and marzipan appear. The finish reveals vanilla, cinnamon, a gentle note of cedar, dry autumn leaves, tea tree and Mediterranean herbs.

The taste is soft, noticeably warm. Its freshness is youthfull and refreshes our palate for its mineral salinity, and slight perceptions of tannin in the finish. The taste is intense, the wine is elegant, full-bodied and long-lasting, pampering us with a spectrum of ripe fruit and Mediterranean herbs.

Dishes: duck thighs, pheasant, also rabbit dishes or lamb chunks in herbal crust
