White wine Young.

Its floral aromatics and a hint of newly mown grass blend seamlessly with a mineral sensation reminiscent of stones drenched by the rain. On the palate, the zesty citrus of lemon melds with a subtle saline undertone, carving out a crisp and rejuvenating profile. It is the quintessential choice for those in pursuit of lightness and zest in a youthful white wine.
