Tasting Notes
Appearance:
A brilliant, pale straw hue that sparkles in the glass, reflecting its youthful vibrancy and purity.
Nose:
Intense and aromatic, the bouquet opens with lively grassy and gooseberry notes derived from the Sauvignon Blanc, seamlessly interwoven with subtle hints of green apple, fennel, and white pepper contributed by the Verdejo. A fresh herbaceous character lifts the nose, evoking the invigorating scents of a spring meadow.
Palate:
Concentrated and textured, the palate delights with harmonious layers of zesty citrus, crisp green apple, and delicate stone fruits. The balance between the fuller-bodied Sauvignon Blanc and the more austere Verdejo provides depth and complexity. A rounded mouthfeel from time spent on fine lees brings added weight and an appealing, food-friendly structure.
Finish:
Clean and refreshing, the finish is marked by uplifting mineral notes and a subtle, lingering herbal edge. This elegant, organic white wine closes with a precise, invigorating freshness, inviting you back for another sip.
