Owner's words
The nose has an exuberant intensity ! Pear nectar, lime blossom and white pepper oer themselves in the glass with remarkable precision. This wine is incredibly pure! The mouth is of greateness. THe touch is silky and delicate. THe mandarin and bergamot appear in the middle of the mouth. The wine is elegant and increases in power throughout the mouth. The nish is tense, opening with notes of kumquat and cardamom. This wine is all in harmony an length. Vegan wine.
