TASTING NOTES
A golden color, shiny, clear.
On the nose, notes of ripe white and yellow fruits with light touches of citrus peel. Woody, toasted touches bring depth and character.
On the palate, the wine is round, silky, with a delicate volume that coats the mouth, a slight freshness that supports the wine and brings finesse. A tonic, saline and lemony finish.
FOOD PAIRING
The salinity of the wine will match iodized products as long as it provides a rich aromatic range. For example, a magnificent sole cooked meunière or a scallop ravioli accompanied by a shellfish broth.
