Antea White Wine

The colour is reminiscent of old gold, very bright. The nose is clean with notes of fruit and flowers, a flower garden, very complex and intriguing… With a veil of aromatic herbs tracing citrus notes for an enveloping nose. On the palate it enters balanced, soft but with a clear freshness and savouriness, like an arrow heading for its target. With aftertaste memories of a light sweet almond and a salty note in the finish. Overall on the palate it is consistent, enticing.
