Nose
Sweet ripe notes of honeydew, cantaloupe melon, ripe juicy peach, lychee, unripe strawberry and wet stone. This wine is very complex with aromas of white roses and wild almond flowers.
Palate
Full palate, flavorful texture, with a well-balanced acidity that enhances the minerality of the wine.
