Appearance

Bright straw yellow with greenish highlights. Limpid and youthful, showing good viscosity for the variety.

Nose

A precise and layered aromatic profile. Initial notes of grapefruit zest, lime, and passion fruit give way to white peach and green apple. Subtle herbal nuances—sage, fresh-cut grass, and tomato leaf—intertwine with mineral hints of wet stone and flint. Light citrus blossom and a faint saline note add complexity and freshness.

Palate

Dry and vibrant, with a crisp, linear attack. The acidity is well-integrated and driving, supporting flavors of citrus pulp, gooseberry, and tropical fruit restrained by a pronounced mineral backbone. Mid-palate shows tension and clarity rather than weight, with a clean, focused structure typical of a cool-climate Sauvignon Blanc. The finish is long, refreshing, and savory, marked by citrus peel and a saline-mineral persistence.

Structure & Balance

Medium-bodied with high, well-calibrated acidity. The wine balances aromatic intensity and freshness with precision, avoiding excess exuberance in favor of elegance and definition.

Finish

Persistent and incisive, with lingering notes of lime, flint, and fresh herbs.

Food Pairing

Ideal with raw seafood (ceviche, oysters), grilled prawns, goat cheese, asparagus-based dishes, sushi, or lightly spiced Mediterranean and Asian cuisine.

Drinking Window

Enjoy now for its vibrancy; capable of short-term aging (2–4 years) to further develop mineral and tertiary nuances.
