Visually it is yellow, light gold, and shiny.
The aroma is challenging! Gradually discovered, but from the beginning, it shows enormous complexity. The earthy impact of the clay from the amphora mixes up with notes of ripe fruit, orange compote, marmalade and pear. Rich and intense. Time in the glass renews the earthy notes and complexity.
