Tasting notes

Visual: Light green olive

Nose: Mineral notes, fresh chamomile, vanilla and some undergrowth.

Palate:  Spice with a well integrated acidity. Long aftertaste, with a variety of fruit notes.

This wine will develop its complexity in bottle. Thanks to the acidity, it will be an important ageing if it is conserved in good conditions.
