Tasting
Its pale color with green reflections offers a nice open and typical nose of acacia, fresh notes of citrus fruits and lime then a smoky and mineral touch of gunflint. On the palate, this wine has a nice balance, dry and nervous. Straightforward and straightforward finish.
Food pairings
Fish and white meats.
