TASTING NOTES

Color is pale rose petal, with gentle silvery hues. Nose is delicate, offering ripe strawberry and nectarine aromas, flowery notes such as peony, some orange blossom, intertwined with tangerine peel, some aniseed and licorice coming along with a subtle smoky, but airy sensation. Palate is dry and mellow, caressing with satin-like texture, medium plus acidity and generous zests giving spiciness. Flavors are intense, pungent with lots of licorice and pink pepper melting into the sweet fruitiness of strawberry and peach. Finish is long, with noble balsamic bitterness, offering a slightly tannic touch, and thus a certain structure. Great with food, can keep well for the next 1-2 years.

CRITICAL ACCLAIM

D90, Decanter

"White peach, apricot and white flowers on the nose. The palate has a silky texture with lush white and pink fruit flavours. Blend: 42% Grenache, 38% Cinsault, 9% Rolle."

WE90, Wine Enthusiast

"Wild strawberry aromas give this wine an attractive character. It's a floral wine, spicy with pepper and lively with fragrant acidity. Drink this fine wine now."
