Tasting Notes
Appearance: Lovely pale gold with green tints.
Nose: Vibrant and fresh, featuring aromas of citrus (lemon, grapefruit), green apple, and a delicate hint of yellow flowers.
Palate: Zesty and zippy. It leads with crisp acidity and a distinct saline/briny minerality that reflects the vineyards' proximity to the Mediterranean sea. You may also notice subtle notes of honeydew melon and peach.
Finish: Clean, dry, and surprisingly fleshy for such a light wine, ending with a long, mouth-watering acidity.
Food Pairing Suggestions
This wine is designed to be drunk young (within 2 years) and served chilled (8∘C – 10∘C).
Seafood: Its high acidity and saltiness make it the ultimate partner for raw oysters, grilled sardines, mussels, or fish carpaccio.
Light Bites: Excellent as an aperitif, with Lebanese tabbouleh, or goat cheeses like Cabécou.
Global Flavors: Pairs beautifully with ceviche, sushi, or avocado stuffed with shrimp.
