Pale gold in color with lemon-meringue, pineapple, honeysuckle and toasted almond on the nose. Flinty-stone and citrus explodes on the palate with additional notes of nectarine and other stone fruits enveloping the mouth, leading to a long and elegant finish.

Balanced and complex, this wine should age nicely for another 8+ years.
