Altair shows a brilliant golden yellow color and nuances of golden yellow, very transparent. The nose reveals intense, clean, pleasing and refined aromas that start with hints of apple, peach and plum followed by aromas of hazelnut, pineapple, pear, grapefruit and vanilla. The mouth has good correspondence to the nose, a crisp attack and pleasing roundness, however balanced by alcohol, good body, intense flavors. The finish is persistent with flavors of apple, plum and pineapple. Altair ages for 6 months in steel tanks and barrique followed by 3 months of aging in bottle.
