Tasting notes: The colour is bright white-yellow with green hues. The nose is complex, and the wine exudes aromas of fresh flowers with hints of crushed blossoms. A relaxed pace and a luxurious texture give flavours of citrus fruits and touches of jasmine and mint. The acidity travels across the palate in the aftertaste for a clean, extended finish.
