🍷 Appearance
Very pale straw with green tinges. Crystal clear and vibrant, reflecting its youthful freshness.

Highly aromatic and refined, showing lime, lemon and lemongrass with hints of green apple and citrus blossom.
Subtle notes of spice, mineral dust and a delicate floral lift add complexity and precision.

Fine, tightly structured and beautifully poised, delivering pure lemon and lime flavours with exceptional clarity.
There’s a vibrant acid line driving the wine, giving energy, tension and a precise, linear feel across the palate.

Crisp and finely textured with a subtle chalky grip.
The finish is long and mineral-driven, with citrus zest and a talc-like finesse that lingers with impressive persistence.

This is all about precision, minerality and tightly wound citrus fruit, with excellent ageing potential thanks to its natural acidity and balance.
