NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
With its deep amber color and brilliant clarity, this wine immediately captivates the eye.On the nose, enticing aromas of toasted almonds, dried figs, and caramelized orange peel emerge, creating a harmonious bouquet. These complex aromatics are further complemented by subtle hints of sea salt and a touch of oak, adding depth and sophistication to the overall profile. Upon tasting, the wine reveals a rich and velvety texture, with a perfect balance between sweetness and acidity. Flavors of roasted nuts, toffee, and dried fruits dominate the palate, while a gentle salinity provides a refreshing and lingering finish.
