It reflects all the aromatic depth of the Chardonnay grape variety, but with the strong influence of Terroir do Freixo. It is a rich and expressive wine, with a golden and brilliant color. The minerality notes stand out in harmony with the fresh tropical fruits and the discreet toast of the wood. In the mouth it is wide, with white peach, pineapple, quince and with a buttery finish. Optimal acidity balances it and gives it length of tasting.
