TASTING NOTE
A clear pale yellow robe. A clean and pleasant nose, mixing white fruits
(vinepeach), and citrus fruit (grapefruit) tastes ; followed by some notes of currant leaves, boxwood and acacia.
The aeration brings exotic notes such as pineapple and mango. Thus, we can expect for a dry and concentrated wine with a bright acidity. On the palate, the wine is clear, fresh and fleshy.
In its evolution, this is a lively wine with a fine texture. The product is well balanced with a fresh citrusy flavor with a long persistence.
