a moderate tannic finish.

Perfectly enjoyed with Carne Asada and Barbacoa tacos or grilled pork chops beside roasted potatoes.

LIMITLESS POTENTIAL.

When The Chariot appears, positive energy and encouragement flow. An adventurous spirit is the key to fulfilling your joyous fortunes.

TASTING NOTES
Soft, sweet floral notes mingle with exotic aromas. This off-dry white wine balances lemon’s acidity with flavours of peach, apple, honey and spice for a delicious finish.
