O Produtor, tasting note published in April 30th 2022

Bright, limpid straw-yellow colour. The nose reveals complex aromas of vanilla, almonds, dried fruits and linden blossom, with a marked minerality typical of the soil. On the palate, this is a very round and rich wine, with an elegant balance enhanced by a light bitterness on the finish. Very ripe white fruit aromas, such as peach and apricot, linger with great persistence and remarkable complexity. Depending on the vintage, it can age between 30 and 60 years, and in exceptional cases up to 50 to 75 years.
