4.20 / 5.0·750 ml·@Wix Kyiv Office · Mixed Bag Vol. 3

This one is a sophisticated beauty. Dried fruits, seawater, white flowers, citruses (a lemon-mandarin mix), and butter. Almost perfectly balanced, fresh. The aftertaste is long, evolving, flavourful and with a pleasant salty touch.

Wine #3 on Mixed Bag Vol. 3 event.
