From Susana Balbo's Signature range this is one of her benchmark wines. Being barrel fermented it contrasts with many other examples of this variety in that the subtle oak influence gives it an extra dimension. The charactersitic exuberant fruity and floral notes are toned down a bit and matched with a luxuriant vanilla creaminess and well balanced crisp acidity.The result is, in some ways, reminiscent of good quality northern Rhône whites and a testament to the many years Susana Balbo has spent perfecting this wine.
FOOD: It goes very well with both delicately flavoured fish and seafood dishes, or spicy Indian and Thai cuisine.
