TASTING NOTES: Showing a clear stramineous with a touch of green, the nose opens with the fruity hints varietal to Viognier, citrus fruits, peach and apricot as well as the fragrance of roses. It is smooth on the palate and develops its light acidity paired with a slight hint of pleasant bitterness in the finish. A wine of great elegance and excellently suited for storage.
