It is a straw yellow colored mistela with golden tones. It was attractive to the eye, bright, clean, and transparent.

The mid palate is sweet, thick, and unctuous. With an acidity proportionate to the sweetness of the wine, it is not cloying and encourages you to drink more. It has a long finish that is quite pleasing on the palate.
