Tasting note
Notes of dried apple slices, dates, orange peel and a hint of smoked bacon. Supple texture. The palate exudes tones of apple compote with lemon juice, smoky notes; also crisp acidity that provides plenty of tension. Nice mineral element. A pronounced salty lemon finish.

roast pork, baked fish
