Tasting Notes:
It's a dry bright white, fruited, young refreshing white with apple and lemon notes in the aroma and tasting. It's a pleasant easy drinking wine, smooth, easy drinking, a real day by day wine.
How to serve:
Excellent aperitif, it's also a delicious complement of fish, white meat, vegetarian, Indian and Thay cuisines and as well lighter flavoured dishes, and fresh cheeses.
Vinification Method:
Destemming, pelicular maceration and pressing. Cooled to 15ºC, the must passes by a vacuum filter with perlites. The fermentation is achieved through active dry yeasts, the temperature being controlled between 16ºC and 18ºC.
