Peter Moser - Falstaff
Pale green yellow colour with silver reflections. Candied grapefruit zest, delicate hints of fresh mango, fine touch of honey, somewhat restrained. Medium complexity, integrated fruity sweetness, subtle acidity, a hint of blood oranges on the finish, already developed and accessible, delicate caramel aftertaste.
