Tasting Notes
This wine has a pale gold color with aniseed highlights. Its delicate nose blends bergamot with notes of struck pebbles. Fresh on the palate, dominated by the typical Viognier character. The mid-palate strikes a subtle balance between the tension of the terroir and the generosity of the grape variety and aging. The finish is sapid, highlighting rustic and mineral notes. An authentic, complex wine.
