Clear light yellow color and wonderfully fine pearl. Complex aroma with notes of white flowers and pear. Lively and fresh mouthfeel, rich and broad taste. Nice long and persistant final challenging the palate, teasing for more.
Tasty and dry aperitif. Delicious with all kinds of tapas, oysters or other shellfish.
