The wine is then aged for 10 months in French oak tonneaux.

The nose on this wine recalls classic muscat and strong ripe fruit aroma of apricot, peach and pineapple, supplemented by pleasant spicy and nutty overtones.
Velvetsmooth and enfolding in the mouth, it is extremely soft, round and gracefully contoured.
Excellent structure and nose-palate persistence.
