About wine: Onion-orange wine with reddish hues. The pleasant bouquet is reminiscent of a flowering hawthorn bush and acacia, and among the fruity perceptions, peaches, apricots, ripe bananas, lychees, grapefruit, and pineapple predominate. In the mouth it turns out with the harmony of alcohol and acid, with a rich body and minerality, which is joined in a long aftertaste by pleasant spicy and herbal notes
