Youthful and elegant, with ripe sweet fruit, a wonderfully floral (violet) character and silky texture, soft acidity, transparent; light and charming, almost flirtatious, good length. Festive Fleurie.
16%. Rich cocoa aroma, deep, with sweet black fruit; nice sweetness on the palate, rich and ripe fruit, has a balancing freshness, satiny, soft tannins; good length. Not the most complex of wines, but interesting and satisfying.
43%. A blend of Quebranta, Torontel, Italia Rosada (Muscat of Alexandria), Albilla (Palomino) and Moscatel, fermented in stainless steel and distilled in a Charentaise copper still. Exceptionally smooth and floral, aromatic, muscat noticeable, very pure and elegant, balancing bitters, lovely length.
