Tasting notes

Appearance

Healthy and radiant, with a medium lemon color.

Nose

The aroma is intense, featuring a wealth of primary and secondary notes. Scents of grapefruit, melon, pear, peach, grape, banana, pineapple, lychee, mango, lemongrass, fennel, biscuits, brioche, vanilla, coconut, smokiness, nuts, butter, toasted almonds, and freshly baked bread are all present.

Palate

It is a dry wine with moderately high acidity. The alcohol content is moderate, and it has a medium body. The flavor intensity is strong, offering a robust mouthfeel with a striking impact. The texture is very creamy, and this creaminess blends seamlessly with the firm acidity, providing a well-balanced palate. Amidst the assertive presence of tropical fruits, nuances of oak contribute to an elegant complexity. Enjoy subtle hints of minerals (flint), nuts, and brioche. The finish is long, concluding in a very clean manner. Recommended for those seeking a robust wine with a substantial flavor profile.

Food pairing

This wine complements dishes such as chicken in butter cream sauce, carbonara, sweet and sour pork, grilled swordfish, mushroom dishes, fermented foods, simmered dishes, slightly sweetened seasonings (using mirin and sake), butter-steamed clams, miso-marinated cream cheese, Japanese beef steak, creamy crab salad, and pickled vegetables in bran.
