Tasting profile
Bright straw yellow with green reflections. The complex varietal nose opens with vegetal notes, including tomato leaf, followed by citrus, grapefruit and white peach. The palate repeats these aromatic impressions and finishes with a lightly salty, mineral character associated with the Karst terroir. The introductory profile also describes it as full, ripe and firmly structured.

Serve at 10–12°C. Pair with substantial first courses, grilled fish, fish soup and white meat. It also works with spicy and bittersweet Asian dishes.
