MORE INFORMATION:
The wine has a light and brilliant straw
colour. The complex nose is dominated
by nectarine and peach fruit with
well-integrated toasty oak characters.
The palate is rich and creamy with a
viscous mouthfeel. Aromas of roasted
cashew nuts and vanilla pods tease the
senses. Soft, full and round but elegant,
the palate lingers for an eternity.
