Rich, creamy wood-aged wine that shows pear, apple and toast flavors ane even a hint of honey. Smooth and textured, it has fine final spice and acidity to add further interest.

A complex, wood-aged wine, full in the mouth, balancing well between toast and sweet melon and apple flavors, spiked with grapefruit acidity. It would be worth aging for 2–3 years.

The aroma says wood, and that’s what the taste confirms. To go with the wood, there is rounded apricot and peach-flavored fruit, open and rich. The wine has a youthful taut edge, finishing with the greatest acidity.

This crisp wine has bright fruits, lively acidity and a vibrant mineral character. It could develop for another 1–2 years.

Full and soft, this is a ripe and creamy wine, with generous melon and rich apple fruits. It is already delicious, though simple.
