Appearance: Pale straw yellow with bright golden reflections, shimmering with clarity. The wine’s brilliance suggests vibrancy and freshness, while its light viscosity hints at an elegant, crisp texture. As it swirls, delicate, slow-moving legs form, reflecting its balanced structure.
Aroma: Fresh and inviting, with aromas of green apple, citrus zest, and white peach. Floral hints of acacia and elderflower add finesse, while subtle mineral tones of wet stone and a touch of fresh almond enhance complexity. A delicate herbal note of thyme and sage emerges as the wine opens.
Taste: Light to medium-bodied, with a lively balance of citrus, orchard fruit, and minerality. Lemon zest, pear, and white peach dominate, supported by a fine mineral backbone that adds structure. The bright acidity keeps the wine refreshing and precise, while a gentle salinity lends depth and complexity.
Finish: Clean and refreshing, with lingering citrus, floral notes, and a delicate almond touch. A slight saline streak enhances the wine’s mineral-driven elegance, leaving a crisp and refined impression. The balance of fruit, acidity, and minerality ensures a long, bright finish.
Food Pairing: A perfect match for grilled prawns with lemon and garlic, where the wine’s acidity enhances the dish’s freshness. It also pairs beautifully with burrata and heirloom tomatoes, complementing the creamy texture. For a plant-based option, try it with a fennel and orange salad, where the wine’s citrus and herbal notes mirror the dish’s bright and aromatic flavours.
