It shows a citrine yellow colour. The complex aroma combines tropical fruit and white flowers with notes of butter and coconut. The palate opens fresh, with fine acidity and pronounced body. Very mineral and harmonious, with a long finish. It pairs well with white meats, seasoned fish, salt cod and seafood. Serve at 10–12 °C. 12.5% ABV, bottled in a 0.75 L bottle. Score: Wine Enthusiast 87/100. Serve this white well chilled but not icy, in a medium-sized glass that concentrates the aromas. If the bottle comes out of the fridge too cold, let it stand at room temperature for a few minutes so the wine can show its full expression. Store the bottle on its side, in a cool, dark place free from temperature fluctuations. Once opened, reseal it and keep it in the refrigerator to preserve its aromas.
