Tasting Notes
Medium yellow-green colour. Fine apricot fruit background with fine herbal savouriness and dark minerality. Complex, finely radiant, yellow tropical fruit, finesse-rich acidity, pronounced in fruit drive on the finish, mineral and persistent, delicate orange touch in the aftertaste, very long, already very seductive and accessible in its youth.
