Tasting Notes
Medium greenish-yellow, with silvery highlights. Delicate notes of white stone fruit, a hint of honeydew melon, fresh herbal spice, delicately underscored by mandarin zest. Complex, juicy, fresh apple, delicate natural sweetness, a refined acidity profile, mineral notes, and good length; lemony and invigorating—a versatile wine that’s already ready to drink and pairs well with food.
