Information

It has a bright, pale yellow color and a delicate aroma of citrus fruits, such as lemon and lime, with floral notes and a subtle minerality. On the palate, this wine is light-bodied and lively, with a zesty acidity that provides a pleasant freshness and a long, clean finish. The fruit flavors are well-balanced by a subtle oakiness, which adds complexity and depth to the wine. It pairs well with seafood dishes, salads, and light appetizers
