Top Notes For
Sipping Fine Wine

Blend of 85% Viura and 15% Tempranillo Blanco, pale lemon color with aromas of stone and tropical fruits with floral scents, 50% aged on lees, other 50% aged in untoasted oak barrels. On the palate flavors of apple and dried apricot with honeysuckle and slight spice. Well balanced with acidity, medium+ finish, nice mouthfeel ending with fruit and floral mineral notes.

Very nice, dry, balanced mineral taste, slightly bitter but easy to drink both in its own and paired with cod and shellfish.
