- Nose:
- Very intense bouquet of yellow flowers and jasmine that matches a complex mix of tropical fruit and spices, from pineapple to peaches and seductive fennel seeds aromas
- Taste:
- Medium to full bodied it reviles its firm but elegant character. Crisp and fruity with good acidity but yet smooth and creamy on the palate.
Comments
FERMENTATION: Temperature Controlled in stainless still after Crio Maceration (skin contact of the juice for about 8-9 hours at 39 degree F. to increase the extraction of perfumes and flavors without getting too much color).
After the fermentation 70% of the wine ages for about 6 months in French Barriques, then it is blended back with the other 30% that remained in Stainless Still waiting.
This wine is a perfect companion to pasta dishes and soups, poultry and seafood.
Best served chilled, 50° F.
