Tasting Notes: This wine comes Greda vineyard, on the plateau of the hillside and showcases the potential of the Zilavka grape, with beaty and elegance that is reminiscent of white Burgundy. Full of complex aromatics of bruised apple, toast and earth with lush, rich fruit yet at under 12% alcohol is still so lively and elegant with delicate flavors of yellow fruits, tangerine peel, and a touch of pepper.
