The colour is medium straw. On the nose nuts, pineapple, peach, quince, honey and jasmine tea. In the mouth refreshing, with a pleasant sapidity on the finish. The aftertaste is pretty long.
I bought this bottle to complete a set of four wines that I’ve decided to present at a wine tasting I’ll host for the CFA Society Switzerland in December. Since I resigned from Credit Suisse and started my own company more than two years ago, I often thought about guiding a wine tasting, but so far I never did it. I have now decided to move to action. I picked four wines: two whites and two reds. The other three I already reviewed in the past. This Heida I have never tasted before. I choose it because I wanted a unique white wine to pair with the Chardonnay from Bourgogne I also selected for the tasting. I’m very happy with the choice. It is a wine I definitely enjoyed.
