Additional Information
Green gold with the scintillating silver reflections. Rich and complex with ripe white fruit flavors (pepper, banana), evolving with aeration into candied citrus and flint notes (chalk, stone).
The palate is smooth and crunchy at the same time with lemon and toast notes. Dense, energetic and digestible finish lingering through a generous sapidity.
