Tasting notes

Appearance: brilliant straw yellow, with fine, persistent perlage. Nose: white fruit with elegant hints of croissant and bread crust. Palate: ethereal perlage and exciting drinkability, a citrus medley with floral notes, exotic fruit, banana and white tea alongside the softness of croissant.
