With a fresh and lively nose, this wine presents a subtle woody note, accompanied by delicate white flower aromas of acacia and elderberry. On the palate, it boasts a long and elegant mouthfeel that is impeccably balanced and refreshing, featuring vibrant notes of citrus, verbena, and white-fleshed fruits. The structure is characterized by very fine tannins, straight with a touch of roundness, leading to a complex and natural aromatic finish that is nothing short of remarkable, particularly given the challenging southern terroir.

Ageing potential: 1 to 5 years.
