On the nose, it offers a complex bouquet of citrus fruits, green apple, and white flowers, accompanied by noted mineral notes.The palate is medium bodied and rounded, with lean acidity that balances its greater richness. The quality is evident on the long finish in the marked ceoncentration of chalky minerality.
