Rich and intense aroma of sweet spices, menthol, apricot jam and tropical fruit. A round and creamy body, with dynamic acidity, moderate alcohol and fine integrated tannins. The palate boasts citrus, apricot and sweet spice with an almost dessert wine richness in a dry style. The grapes were picked at peak ripeness, infusing the long finish with a touch of botrytis.
