Description
Attractively fruited and inviting, the fragrant bouquet shows golden peach, mango, lemon peel and cedary wood characters, leading to a beautifully supple palate that is flavoursome and lingering. The wine offers lovely mid palate weight and creamy texture, making it immediately appealing.
