Detailed Tasting Notes
Wine tasting: 28 Apr 2022
Appearance
A clear, lemon-gold colored wine with medium- color intensity.
Nose
The wine has a clean, youthful nose of medium+ aroma intensity with fruity and floral characteristics. We smell aromas of citrus fruit (lemons), red apple, apple compote, honey, melon and some hints of fresh green grass.
Palate
It is a dry wine with a medium level of alcohol and a high level of acidity, medium body and medium+ flavor intensity. We taste lemon, green apple, mandarin, pear and some citrus bitterness. The wine has a medium aftertaste.
Quality Assessment
It is a good wine but with a rather high level of acidity, so the wine is a lot sweeter in the nose than in the mouth. Because the level of fruit is not very high, we don’t expect that the wine will increase by further ageing.
