Bright, light golden yellow. Delicate yeasty notes show on the attack, with subtly exotic notes of yellow kiwi, pineapple and a hint of white rose. The palate brings a piquant mousse, medium body and superficial fruit sweetness, backed by a gentle acidity. Finely tart notes of herbal spice show on the finish. Sweetish in character.
