On the nose, sensations of ripe yellow peach, acacia honey, and almond paste emerge, accompanied by more complex nuances of toasting, cereals, and a slight peaty imprint. On the palate, the wine is soft and enveloping, yet supported by a refreshing acidic vein that extends the sip. The result is a balanced white, with good persistence and a finish where the mineral component interacts with the aromatic richness without weighing down the overall profile.
