This wine displays a beautiful gold color flecked with green, which deepens with age. The nose is expressive, offering superb aromas of hedgerow flowers like acacia, hawthorn, honeysuckle, and delicate elderflower, alongside notes of violet, lemon, white peach, and flint. With time, honey, quince, and dried fruits emerge. On the palate, it is full of fruit, lively, well-rounded, and possesses a meaty, long finish with a refreshing coolness and polished texture reminiscent of marble. Hints of butter, oak, minerals, and citrus fruits like lemon and lime are also present.
