Very fresh, clean and pure, precise, crisp Merseguera basis, Malvazia provides grapy richness and floral notes and the Viognier a hint of exotique. Very attractive.
Clean, fresh, complete, elegant but not tight, floral, ripe fruit, no sense at all of its 14.5% ABV, very gentle tannins, rounded out nicely by some spicy warmth, good length.
A substantial 14% ABV. Ripe fruit, tobacco and leather, medium weight, classic profile, marries elegance and richness, velvety, ripe tannins provide good grip, bright flavours, good length.
France, Loire Valley, Anjou-Saumur, Coteaux du Layon Rochefort-sur-Loire
Pure and precise, medium sweet, linen and chamomile, orange and lime, pineapple, attractive bitters, elegant and light, mineral and fresh, lovely length.
