Appearance

Nose
Aromas of citrus, white peach, and green apple, complemented by floral hints of jasmine and a subtle herbaceous note. A touch of wet stone minerality adds depth, reflecting the wine’s limestone-influenced terroir.

Palate
Medium-bodied with a textured mouthfeel, featuring flavors of lemon, green melon, and almond. The wine has a refreshing acidity balanced by a round, creamy texture, while a slight salinity adds complexity and enhances the mineral-driven profile.

Finish
Crisp and clean, with lingering notes of citrus, stone fruit, and a gentle minerality that leaves a refreshing finish.
