Dry white wine, brilliant yellow in colour with a piquant aroma which is derived from the addition of resin.
Dusty, brick, mahogany color, not very bright; earthy, dusty aromas, low fruit; medium bodied, dull on the palate, adequate structure; dry, low acid, balanced; leathery, dusty flavors, medium depth of fruit; short finish, soft aftertaste.
This is a very traditional light-bodied white wine which represents great value. Crisp and refreshing.
