The winter was mild, while the spring was initially quite cold, but then warmed, reaching highs of 30 °C (86 F) by the end of May. The moisture accumulated during this period allowed the plants to follow a regular growth cycle. The high temperatures in July and August were balanced by the significant day-night temperature excursions in September, and by rains, which allowed the grapes to ripen well.

Rich tropical fruit on the nose (pineapple, passion fruit, ripe bananas) mingled with apricots.

On the palate it is captivatingly pleasant, fresh and sweet, with honey mingling with candied apricots and pineapples, while banana reemerges in the finish.

Intense straw yellow.

A perfect dessert wine.

The harvest, which began in early September and continued until the end of the month, immediately revealed the high potential of the vintage.
