It's a perfect accompaniment to dishes like seafood or vegetarian fare.

Tasting Notes

A crystalline colour which remains very youthful; a lively, brilliant, and alert pale green with hints of lemon yellow with a silvery sheen and dynamic and dashing legs. The aroma is floral and fruity; impulsive spring flowers: lily of the valley, primrose, lemon balm, cardamom, pear, white peach, fresh mint with an overall accent that is both refreshing and pure. The flavour stays elegantly on the palate highlighted by a nice dashing liveliness and a delicious, round and aromatic finish.
