Written Notes

Good looking normal size bottle. Colour is light. On the nose it is open, youthful, fresh and pure. The taste is fresh, and dry, and high in acidity, light, youthful and the palate is sharp. On the palate it is layered and has citrus, white fruits, apricot, mineral and steely flavours. The finish is medium long, pure and a bit too acidic .. This wine is a good every wine. Perfectly stored bottles are still very worthy and will last well for another 1-5 years and decant at least 15min before tasting.
