TASTING NOTE
Met Liefde 2018
white wine
A remarkably good and fine wine. Very well balanced, full of aromas and good in acidity with a pleasant ending. The wine has a very attractive bouquet of primary, secondary and tertiary aromas of apricot, honey, dried apricots and figs, cedar, vanilla, butter, brioche and some herbs. We taste nectarine, apricot, yellow tropical fruits combined with butterscotch, vanilla, cedar and a small almond bitter in the finish; typical flavours of 6 months ripening on oak. As the name indicates: It is made with love!
