100% Viura. Barrel fermented. Aromas of flowers, nectarines and beeswax. The pallet features peaches, nectarines and a hint of citrus. Waxy and light creamy texture. Medium bodied. Very limited acidity but that is typical for the varietal. Not much of a mid-pallet, but a nice front pallet makes up for some of that. Touch of soap on the finish? Better the second day. Solid QPR.
