Appearance: Light golden-yellow color with green reflections, clear and medium-viscous wine, with beautiful tears on the glass – promising elegance and texture.
Aroma: Primary aromas: citrus notes (grapefruit, lemon), exotic fruit such as mango, pineapple, white-fleshed fruit (peach, pear). Secondary aromas: subtle oak effects – buttery note, slightly spicy notes, and a floral component. Tertiary aromas: a hint of minerality, salty or flinty tones, slight saltiness in the finish.
Taste: Clean, dry wine of medium body with pronounced freshness. In the mouth, we feel an explosion of citrus aromas – lemon, green apple, peach – followed by a pleasant mineral saltiness and balanced acidity. The sharpness is elegant, the profile distinctly lively.
Finish: The finish is long, clean, and dry-tart; the mineral salty aftertaste gives an impression of freshness and harmony. The sharp acidity pairs nicely with the fruit richness and provides a fresh, elegantly memorable finish.
