Intense aroma with notes of ripe fruit (pear, peach) well assorted with slight vanilla notes from the cask. It has a good structure on the palate. It is well-balanced, fresh, mineral with a long finish. It is an excellent companion for richer and more intense fish dishes or, preferably, for white meat dishes with a hint of exotism.

Fermentation took place in new French oak barrels, followed by 6 months ageing on fine lees in order to achieve the desired structure and complexity. After static decanting, fermentation took place in a stainless-steel tank at controlled temperatures of about 15ºC. After the normal period of resting in a tank, the wine was batched, stabilized and bottled.
