Pale golden yellow with a slightly greenish hue. Rich and full nose with a touch of hay, layers of honeysuckle, white stone fruits and butter. Medium plus acidity (6.5/10) and medium plus bodied. Well balanced and rounded with layers of honeysuckle, pears, lychee, honey, stone fruits and a touch of wax. Long finish. Lovely complexity and easy to drink.
