Description
A pale yellow colour with golden hues, the radiant nose captures with refined aromas of sweet citrus, pineapple, gooseberry and peach, alongside an energizing mineral note and aromatic herb hints that enhance its complexity and elegance. The palate is juicy with a lively, refreshing acidity, pineapple and herbs notes reflecting the nose. It is enthralling and invigorating, with a deep, mineral finish
