This is our most important white wine, that has given us worldwide succes. This year's vintage is even better than last year's. It has a faschinatinf golden yellow colour, with elegant hints of fresh flowers and fruits (melon, white prunes and peaches) on her rare soft vanilla base. On the palate it's surprisingly elegant, flavourful enveloping and very sure of itself and its well deserved international fame.
