Tasting Notes
Bright golden yellow with silvery highlights. Delicate meadow herbs, subtle notes of yellow pome fruit, fresh yellow plum, a hint of apricot, a delicate tobacco-like spice, and an inviting bouquet. Complex, elegant, with a delicate core of fruit sweetness, a fresh acidity profile, a mineral finish, well-balanced, with good length—a juicy, harmonious pairing for food with aging potential, yet already very approachable.
