ORIGIN OF STAINED GLASS WINDOW :
Santa Maria Nuova basilica
Montreale – Sicilia – Italy

COMMENTARY :

Strong wheat colour. Elegant nose with strong mineral notes mixing citrus and delicate notes of white flowers, quince, linden, honey and acacia. Supple attack, very dense, rich, fat and opulent wine. Slender and complex, the mouth blends notes of yellow fruit and fruit from the orchard counterbalanced by the freshness and acidity of citrus. A very long Chenin combining tension, power and minerality. To be tasted today to treat yourself on a simple dish and in the coming years on dishes in sauce.
