TASTING NOTES
pale lemon colour with greenish highlights; On the nose it’s quite intense and complex with herbaceous notes, lime zest, passion fruits, white flower, eldeflower and boxwood. On the palate is beautifully elegant, refreshing and mineral. Very long and pleasant finish with all the flavours picked up on the nose and a touch of nutmeg and gooseberry
FOOD PAIRINGS
the complexity and minerality of this wine makes it pairs very well with any rich seafood dish, especially seafood pasta. Though the perfect pairing would be with a soft goat cheese
