Note: Chilled and tasted at 10 C. Amazed by its intensity with lots of primary characteristics, perfumed with flavours of bright fruits and delicate floral fragrances.
First Impression: Beautiful bright and vibrant pale gold, quite a lively appearance. Intensely perfumed yet elegant.
Flavours: Pronounced aromas and flavours of ripe green apple, lemon and orange zest, candied lemon, lemon custard, camomile, cherry blossom, light kerosene and rubber with just a hint of less.
Structure: Dry with pronounced intensity, high but well balanced acidity, medium body, long intense and refreshing finish. Great value!
