Tasting notes
Bright yellow. Enticing, perfumed aromas of ripe nectarine and apple blossom. Juicy, firm and quite dry, with nuanced flavors of peach, nectarine, spices and minerals. Finishes fine and minerally, with a lovely floral perfume.

Broad, sweet, rich and calming. Very very easy and already showing well. Dancing, not especially concentrated but very charming indeed. (JR)
Light yellow color. Sweet aromas of soft citrus fruits and nutty, vanillin oak. Ripe and harmonious, with sweet fruit flavors of orange and peach. Offers an attractive sugar/acid balance. My only early question mark concerns the wine's slightly hard edge on the finish, and a hint of alcoholic warmth. But there's also some minerality from the rocky soil here.
