Tasting profile (AI-generated)
Structure: full-bodied, medium acidity, sweet
An amber-gold fortified wine made from white Grenache grapes, aged oxidatively to develop notes of dried apricot, quince, candied orange peel, roasted walnut and honey. Long barrel ageing brings a distinctive rancio character alongside a coffee-tinged, bitter-almond finish. It is rich and sweet but balanced by a thread of acidity, giving it length rather than heaviness.
