Appearance: Pale gold with a silver-green hue.
Nose: Aromas of crisp green apple, pear, and lemon zest are joined by delicate floral notes of white blossom and hints of honeydew melon.
Palate: Light-bodied with a bright, zesty acidity, the palate reveals flavours of juicy orchard fruits—think apple and pear—complemented by subtle citrus tones and a whisper of minerality. A touch of almond and a gentle creaminess add depth.
Finish: Clean and refreshing, with lingering notes of citrus and a slight saline edge.
Pairing: A wonderful match for seafood dishes like grilled prawns, seared scallops, or lemon sole. It also pairs beautifully with light salads, goat’s cheese, or asparagus risotto.
Serving suggestion: Serve well-chilled at 8–10°C to highlight its crisp acidity and vibrant fruit character.
