Tasting Notes
This Pinot Gris has a beautiful gold-yellow colour with amber reflections. On the nose, it has an open and young aroma with a smoky and peppery characteristic, followed by exotic fruits, vanilla, liquorice, and caramel. On the palate, there is a light carbonic perception due to its youth, and is a heady, heavy, and fleshy wine with an intensive vanilla, liquorice, and ripe fruit bouquet. It is powerful and round, making for a luxurious drinking experience.
Food Match
 This wine is suitable as an aperitif, with white meat dishes like poultry in mushroom sauce. It can also pair well with dessert, making it a very gastronomic wine.
