Fresh and clean with intense fruit flavours of apricot, lemon citrus, green apple and just a hint of peach and flowers. Has a crisp finish that makes it ideal for a variety of foods.

Overall, it has low precipitation, warm summers and mild winters. The soil easily heats up und distinguishes itself by a high mineral content, which provides the wines with depth and body.
