Tasting note
Gold hue with a tinge of green. A discreet bouquet with scents of yellow fruit, pear, dried apple slices, orange zest and a light hint of pepper.  Creamy mouthfeel, dense extract sweetness, balanced acidity and a hint of saltiness. With a taut structure and rich texture, this powerful and exciting wine exudes flavourful notes of pineapple jelly, yellow apple and dandelion. Lengthy citrus expression on the finish. Plenty of wine at a fair price. (tasted by wine academic Johannes Fiala)
