Tasting Notes: Deep lemon colour. Pronounced aromas of citrus, white stone fruit, botanical hints harmonically combined with notes of honey and jasmine, revealing the short maturation in oak barrels in the presence of fine lees. It is full bodied with a pleasantly high acidity and long aftertaste.

Perfect Pairing: Best served at 8-13˚C, an excellent match for fresh vegetables, greasy fish and seafood with acid sauces, mushrooms, white meat, hummus and sushi.
