Tasting Notes

Bright and vivid melon hues. Intense nose with citrus, honey and white flower aromas. Silphium is a rich and round wine, balanced with a soft acidity that leads to a sumptuous finishing with notes of pear, litchee, grapefruit peals with very distinguish tannins. Silphium remains a wine with a good ageing potential, which is not common for a rosé.
