Description
Weather conditions:
The mild and humid winter brings about an early bud burst of the vines, then the first three weeks of May, quite cool, are followed by a period of heat which causes the vegetation to explode at the end of the month. June and July are hot and humid, and August brings its share of thunderstorms. Then from the end of August, fine weather, hot during the day and cool at night, sets in, bringing the perfect conditions for a superb harvest.

Tasting notes:
Color: amber with orange reflections.
A very fine, floral nose, on fresh grapes, crunchy mango, with a touch of nutmeg.
On the palate, the attack is minty, very frank, and it opens up with aromas of exotic fruits and hints of cinnamon.
“Loads of maturity on the nose along with ripe plum, pear, apricot and hint of mango. All carries into deep, full mouth with well rounded mature qualities. Fruit develops and carries into the long, well developed finish.” (IWSC 2014)
