Tasting notes: Pale golden colour with subtle green reflections. The nose reveals delicate aromas of white flowers, citrus zest, and fresh orchard fruits, underlined by a discreet mineral note. On the palate, the wine is precise and vibrant, with a fine balance between ripe fruit and a taut acidity. The finish is long, saline, and persistent.

Cellaring potential: Can be enjoyed now for its freshness but will develop complexity over 5 to 7 years.
