Tasting Notes
NOSE
Aromatic Richness and Complexity
The initial aromas are delicate and fleeting, offering hints of rose, orange oil, and saffron. As the wine breathes, it reveals a more profound bouquet of red fruits, including raspberry, cherry, and fig, with an undercurrent of cassis and a touch of sweet spice. Over time, notes of gingerbread and licorice emerge, adding layers of complexity.
PALATE
Fleshy and Generous Fruit
The palate is full-bodied and indulgent, with ripe, fleshy fruit at the forefront—raspberry, fig, and strawberry. These are balanced by the elegance of Chardonnay’s mineral touch. The texture is smooth, round, and creamy, giving way to a harmonious mid-palate that highlights the wine's consistency and rich depth. The flavours unfold with precision, offering both intensity and restraint.
FINISH
Long and Persistent with Subtle Power
The finish is long and memorable, with the flavours lingering delicately. A persistent minerality and fresh acidity carry the wine to a refined close, while the subtle tannic structure gives the wine its final caress. The fruit and savoury nuances—especially the faint traces of gingerbread and licorice—remain present, making for a well-rounded and satisfying finish.
