Description
Pale gold with a vibrant shininess. Explosion of citrus at first, lime & ripe lemon, then white flowers, freshly cracked almonds and a nice minerality, finishing with some whetstone and flinty notes. Elegant texture with a rich palate weight and a ripe acid line. Vibrant citrus flavour : lime juice, lemon, grapefruit, some nice aromatics notes from the passion fruit and crispy zinc sensation in finale.
