PREMIUM TEA ESTATE
Inaugurated in 1865, this romantic garden rises almost 2000m in altitude.
Leaves: mineral and forest-like colours (shades of grey, brown, green)
Nose: exhales a bouquet both floral (peony) and fruity (loquat)
Liquor: yellow, clear and intense; in the cup, a dialogue occurs between the profusion of floral and fruity tones and the tannins that structure and prolong their flavour. The liquor evokes almond, green Muscatel grape and Indian blood peach rounded out by a note of candied fruit. A surprisingly long and vivacious finale combines smoothness with the woody characteristics of its terroir.
A passionate harvest
