Owner's words
A very clear pale colour with green tints. The nose is generous and aromatic, dominated by stone-fruit aromas (nectarine, apricot) and complemented by subtle touches of citrus. The texture is soft, airy and sound on the palate, offering a precise/linear structure. Citrus notes (pink grapefruit) and a slightly saline mineral touch that add freshness and depth to the wine. Remarkable length on the palate.
