Description
The wine is straw yellow in colour with golden highlights. It is clear and fairly viscous.
The bouquet is fairly intense, persistent and refined. Ripe fruit notes dominate – apricot, quince and pear – while hints of white blossom also emerge, especially acacia and blackthorn. A subtle almond note rounds off the rich nose.
On the palate, the wine is dry, warm and very flavourful, with a pleasant freshness. It is well balanced, full-bodied and harmonious, with the aroma and colour giving an indication of what to expect when tasting. It shows good intensity and persistence, and the wine has reached full maturity – it is currently at its peak.
Best served at a slightly higher temperature, around 10°C. The wine pairs beautifully with gilthead sea bream fillet with almonds on a carrot purée. It also works well with cold starters, especially fish, such as tuna tartare with shallots on toasted bread with herb butter.
