The wine shows a pale salmon pink color and offers delicate aromas of roses and orange blossom that will develop into gooseberry and peach blossoms as the temperature in the glass rises. The palate is crisp, lean and elegant, with persistent flavors of cherry, blackcurrant, apricot and red currant.
