TASTING NOTES
This wine displays a pale straw hue with brightgreen highlights.
On the nose, it offers the vivacity and intensity typical of the region, evoking spring with notes of white flowers, lemongrass, and fresh herbs.
The palate reveals delicate flavors of white melon and guava, accented by hints of passion fruit and lychee.
A beautiful length, supported by vibrant, refreshing acidity, extends into an elegant, mineralfinish.
