Golden in colour and aromas of lanolin, mineral, beeswax and straw flowers, yellow apples, Meyer lemons and just a hint of herbs. It is weighty and tangy, slick in texture and with excellent concentration. It is harmonious and juicy with a long and clean finish.
A dense and fruity grillo with dried mango and cooked pear character. Full body and flavorful.
