TASTING NOTE
Wijngaard Hesselink Achterhoekse Solaris Barrique 2022
white wine
A beautiful full-bodied wine, full of beautiful yellow and tropical fruits, spices and cedar wood. The wine has a nice complexity and the wood aging is very successful. We recommend 6-12 months of bottle aging so that the wood can integrate a little better into the wine.
