Consumed young it is fresh and straighforward, refined and elegant with delicate notes of white flowers and aromatic herbs with a hint of apricot and almond. It evolves through time firmly expressing mineral notes. The wine acquires complexity with a touch of iodine, spices and candle fruit. On the palate it is concentrated, with a lively fresh finish. When consumed young it should be served at around 10C The ideal accompaniment for delicate cold or warm starters steamed or grilled fish.
