Nose champignonne (good) old cellar smell. In the mouth it is strong enough, with nice oxidative notes. Nervousness,...

100% Viura. Ripe nose of tropical fruits, mango and pineapple with pleasing aroma replays on the palate along with some wildflower flavours. Touch of sweetness on the palate. Acids are fresh, while the lengthy finish has a mineral-bitter component. Should have wide-appeal. Tasted Sept/2016.
