Tasting notes
Appearance
Bright straw yellow with excellent clarity.
Nose
The aromas are expressive and beautifully layered, opening with bright notes of lemon, lime, green apple, gooseberry, passion fruit, and grapefruit. These lively fruit impressions are joined by delicate floral scents of acacia, elderflower, chamomile, and jasmine, along with subtle hints of tomato leaf and freshly cut grass. Beneath the freshness lies a refined mineral character reminiscent of flint and wet stone, a clear reflection of its calcareous soils.
Palate
Begins with a burst of fresh citrus, leading into soft tropical fruit on the mid-palate. The texture is smooth and silky, with gentle acidity that lifts the profile and highlights vibrant fruit character. The finish is long, clean, and refreshing.
Food pairing
Ideal with seafood marinades, smoked salmon, Chevre cheese, and stir-fried seasonal vegetables.
