Tasting note
Brilliant shiny yellow hue. The nose is somewhat reserved with soft yellow fruit notes. Cool elegance on the palate with clear, straight apple tones. A noble texture, beautifully mineral and structured; bone dry with fine acidity and continuously juicy. Wonderfully harmonious, promising much potential.
