Winemaker's comments : This brilliant and lively young wine has a soft yellow color with slightly green hues. Its vivacious flavor and aroma has luscious tropical notes with delicate undertones of maracuyá, guava, mango and pineapple. Its pleasant acidity provides an elegant, lingering persistency. Warm on the palate, it perfectly complements many foods.
