Tasting notes: The colour is bright white-yellow with green hues. The nose is complex and the wine exudes aromas of fresh flowers, with hints of crushed blossoms. A relaxed pace and a luxurious texture give flavours of citrus fruit and touches of jasmine and mint. Ιn the aftertaste, the acidity travels across the palate for a clean, extended finish.
