TASTING NOTES

To the eyes, it presents a lively hayish yellow with metallic glints. To the nose it offers an outstanding fruity character. Tropical fruits with citric notes and traces of vanilla depict this lively Chardonnay. Its attack in the mouth is mordant and mineral, giving space to more complex descriptors as vanilla, toast and lactic notes. This Chardonnay stands out for its delicate balance of freshness and complexity.
