Grapes from high altitude vineyards. Pale lemon with aromas of stone, tropical fruit and floral notes. On the palate peach, pear, citrus flavors, vanilla and slight floral spice. Lively acidity, good balance, medium finish, crisp with floral, oak and mineral notes.

Doing the job and walking the mile, showing some dept and complexity with a well placed oak profile and a fresh but ripe fruit character. well balanced throughout a good finish without loosing any backbone. Lacking somewhat in intensity and length.

Grapes from three high altitude vineyards. The wine is light straw yellow with stone fruit and floral aromas. On the palate peach, pear and citrus flavors with a bit of vanilla spice. The wine has a nice punch of acidity, well balanced giving off a crispness. On the medium+ finish, oak and minerality show up nicely on the ending.

Good, but it felt a bit high on residual sugar and modern to my taste. Well made, to drink now
