Tasting Note

The nose is bursting with fruit, a promenade for the senses. Aeration amplifies the fruity character of tangerine, with a hint of lemon, and reveals a mineral note, as well as floral notes. The palate is full and delicate, with fine acidity. A beautifully pure, saline wine with a vertical profile and long persistence. A well-structured silhouette, supported by lovely fruit that finishes on a salivating finish with fine bitters.

Food Matching

Excellent with Shrimp, Thai lemongrass broth and Calamari
