Appearance: A luminous appearance with soft, coppery shimmers and a sustained salmon pink hue. A highly alluring ensemble with a lustrous, elegant sparkle.

Aroma: A refreshing yet sultry sensory experience of citrus peel and red and black berry jelly, with the exquisite sensation of a rich and complex aromatic range (blackcurrants, blackberries and blueberries). Gorgeously refined and mature olfactory notes bring out the inimitable fragrances of sweet spices and candied violets.

Gorgeously refined and mature olfactory notes bring out the inimitable fragrances of sweet spices and candied violets.

Palate: A distinctive mouthfeel arising from a measured strength which is simultaneously delicate and charming, with flavours developing in perfect harmony (panettone, candied clementines and ginger). A delicate character in the mouth revealing a chalky edge and persistent finish of citron zest.

Tasting: This highly sophisticated wine presents its personality with wonderful delicacy of texture and flavour. An aromatic charm with an unusual mineral quality: pair with poached lobster, tartare of sakura leaf, tomato and rhubarb. Serve at 11/12°C.
