Pale gold with green reflections—subtle and luminous.

Expressive yet refined, with aromas of white peach, pear, and chamomile. Hints of toasted almond, fennel, and light oak spice add layers of complexity.

Creamy and round with a silky texture, unfolding flavours of stone fruit, citrus peel, and a delicate herbal edge. Fresh acidity and mineral tension drive a long, savoury finish.

Excellent with grilled hake, roast chicken, seafood paella, or creamy vegetable dishes. Its elegance and depth pair well with both delicate and richly flavoured fare.

Wonderful now but capable of ageing 5–7 years, gaining nutty, honeyed complexity over time.
