Wine-Sensory Analysis:

• COLOR Straw yellow with greenish reflections. The lack of clarity, typical of an unfiltered wine, is very noticeable. This gives it a remarkable visual depth that immediately invites you to examine it with your nose.
• PERFUME: Intense, rich, and concentrated. Notes of ripe yellow fruits like apricot, grapefruit, and citrus in general stand out, with hints of citrus blossom. But the predominant olfactory prerogative is the powerful sensation of quince that lingers on the nose.
• TASTE: Very consistent on the palate with a strong chewiness, fresh, savory, and easy to drink. Its long finish begs for a second glass. Zephyrus is highly versatile, as despite its fragrance and freshness, it has a solid structure that can handle even the most challenging pairings.

In unfiltered wine, the residue of fermentation yeasts remains suspended or at the bottom, which is why the aromas are constantly evolving over time, creating an ever-evolving tasting experience.
