Bodegas Enguera
Aliats Blanco
Beautiful golden-yellow color, very clean wine. White Aliats is pure freshness on the nose. We find floral aromas reminiscent of orange blossom, peach blossom, but above all intense citrus notes reminiscent of lime and lemon. On the nose, the toasted and spicy aromas characteristic of barrel aging are present but in the background. On the palate it is a wine with very good balance, marked acidity and a tannic point that completes the rounding of the wine, giving it an extra depth and presence. The aftertaste is long and leaves you with a wonderful memory.
