The Wine
The dress has a pale, shiny yellow tint.
The nose , very expressive, opens with aromas of white peach, lime and mandarin, accompanied by a light resinous note.
On the palate , the balance between breadth and tension is perfect, offering a round and ripe material, enveloping, while remaining fresh and tonic. The harmony that emerges is reassuring, with more gourmet aromas than those of the Sylvaner, mixing fruits and spices. The finish is generous and intense and the whole persists pleasantly on notes of spices and peach.
Dare to try half-bottle wine!
