Tasting Note
Its golden color perfectly embodies the Rivesaltes sweet honey notes melted with its aromas of yellow flowers, orange zest and nuts. The mouthfeel is balanced, underlined by a pleasant acidity, making it a great food wine. Enjoy as an aperitif, with blue cheeses such as Roquefort, orange cream fritters, Asian cuisine, nuts and chocolate cakes, muffins and pancakes or as an after dinner drink.
