89/100
Robert Parker
Located in the Garraf Massif near Barcelona, Benjamin Roméo's Massis vineyard produces a white wine with aromas of tropical fruit and flowers, with well-integrated wood. A complex wine on the palate, showing great delicacy, very juicy, with a long, seductive finish. A must-try!
