Tasting Notes:
‘ Slightly golden hue enlighten the glasses in the most appealing way. Notes of tropical fruit. Very attractive mouth feel, with a surprisingly rich palate that fill with tropical fruit, oak, hint of butter and yet in a full, rounded sensation. Long savoury finish. Simply brilliant and a great value for money white. Not to be missed. ‘
