Very bright straw yellow. A nose of flowers (lily of the valley, lemon blossom, narcissus, acacia, lavender) with peach, citrus peel, Chinese magnolia, sage and cardamom. Warm and corpulent on the palate, medium freshness, lingering finish with hints of apricot.
Pairs well with
From fish appetisers to first courses, and main courses of fish or white meat
