TASTING NOTE: Appearance: Quite deep straw yellow. Bouquet: Fresh, with a broad fruity note reminiscent of ripe Golden Delicious apples and wild flowers and a subtle, delicate yeasty tone.

These notes are accompanied by a marked sensation of mellowness due to the higher dosage that makes the wine semi-sweet.
