Tasting Notes

Pale citrine in color with a slight greenish tinge. Fruity and fresh. Clean and fresh aromas with a unique bouquet of green apples, lime, white blossoms. Soft minerality, very well balanced. Pleasant mouth with a slight zippy effervescence and ripeness that combines well with the natural high acidity.
