Perlage

Fine, elegant and persistent.

Colour

Deep straw yellow with bright reflections.

Bouquet

Intense, characterised by a fine, delicate minerality, skilfully accompanied by notes of bread crust, candied fruit and pleasant nuances of vanilla. Citrus notes of cedar and mandarin peel lend complexity and balance.

Flavour

Vibrant and extremely fresh, moving into citrus notes of yellow grapefruit and mandarin. The taste profile reveals minerality as a common thread in combination with an agile and structured body which gives a rich and satisfying flavour. The finish is long and tasty.

Pairing

Ideal as an apéritif wine. It accompanies sushi preparations with freshwater fish, medium-aged soft cheeses and fish-based main courses.
