A slight green tint on this pale white wine expresses the freshness and youth of this wine. The harmonized blend of different wines produced a variety of flavours from tropical fruit to undertones of ripe fig and gooseberries. Leaving a pleasant and long refreshing aftertaste.

Serve between 10Â° - 12Â° C. Drink now while young as companion with shellfish, calamari or grilled fish. Delicate salmon and fresh trout as well as steamed asparagus complemented this wine.
