Trial analysis
The essence of the Mediterranean white wine. A beautiful colour. Very complex on the nose, with mineral and spicy notes (fennel, thyme, acacia), with some woody notes, but nicely interwoven with the fruit.
Very pure and mineral on the palate. This is a full-bodied, complex wine;A touch of bitter in the finish. One thinks of a Rhône-ranger wine.
