Royal First, concentrates the first royals of the harvest.

On the nose it shows an intense smell of green olive and great complexity of herbaceous and fruity tones, highlighting banana, green apple and almond. In the background he shows us the green spike and the lemon leaf.

In the mouth its delicate and complex flavor stands out. Very light in bitterness and spiciness, something more prominent but very delicate and late. Harmonious, medium structure, almond aftertaste and good persistence.
