SENSORY TEST AND TECHNICAL NOTES
Straw yellow wine with golden reflections. Floral notes of chamomile and hints of tropical fruit and citrus emerge on the nose. The hydrocarbon note in its youth is finer, delicate and less invasive and subsequently becomes more protagonist with refinement in the bottle. On the palate it is fresh, mineral and savory, with an excellent length in the sip; at the same time it presents a good structure and fullness.
