Intense, aromatic nose, showing notes of exotic fruits like mango, lychee or citrus, and floral flavours with a lightly smoky finish. Due to its early ripeness and high sugar levels, the variety is predestined for producing dessert wines. For the production of dry wines, grapes should be harvested at a max 22°Brix to prevent aroma loss.
