Taste

A pleasant aroma of white flowers, roses, citrus, and other fresh fruits are present.
A concentrated bouquet and notable crispness on the palate is experienced providing for a wine that is very full and round which seems to further reinforce the exotic aromas of fruit and gingerbread.
A light sweetness appears as a final element of seduction.
