Allee Bleue Starlette Blanc 2018

The wine has a vibrant green hue. Abundant green pepper flavours welcome you and are beautifully followed by tropical fruit hints. Intriguing flavours of mango and peaches linger on the palate. The fresh acidity and balanced sugar give this wine finesse.

Enjoy with a cool summer salad with mango and pomegranate. Brochettes with tomato, basil pesto or a rocket and Parma ham pizza at your favourite restaurant.
