14% vol., 3 119
Grape variety: Viura
The wine is pale gold in colour. Appealing, still developing nose of pronounced intensity. It is rather on the tertiary side in terms of aromas, displaying honey, hay, roasted hazelnuts, toast, butter, canned peach and yellow plum at the end. Although fleshy with slightly warming high alcohol and a full body, it is still elegant thanks to its high fruit concentration, medium lively acidity and lingering finish. Ready for drinking with potential for ageing (4-5 years).
