Tasting Notes: 

Pale yellow in color, is very delicate, elegant, mineral and floral; in the mouth these impressions are confirmed with notes of yellow fruit, such as peach and pineapple, combined with subtle sensations of toasted wood, presenting a firm, very fresh, mineral, long and complex finish. It has the capacity for positive aging in the bottle, gaining complexity over time, highlighting notes of dried fruits and greater complexity
