Tasting Notes
A beautiful straw colour with delicate bubbles. The nose is fresh with aromas of citrus, hay and freshly baked bread. The wine is strong and spicy on the palate, with a pleasant zest and some creaminess. Peaches with a little buttery taste on the finish. Suggested food pairings: shellfish, Dover Sole, white meats.
