Fine, mid-lemon green colour with a good mousse. Pale edges showing a youthful wine. Clean citrus on the nose, backed by soft fruit aromas of peach and melon. Bright and fruity with an essence of peach, melon and candied citrus notes, culminating in a long, flavourful and clean crisp finish. Very well balanced and fresh and light on the palate.
