TASTING NOTES

This wine has a beautiful golden-green rim, with intense aromas of iodine and ripe citrus peel on the nose. The high concentration of sodium and potassium present in the soil where the vineyard grows, bring forth a minerality to the mid-palate, and a fresh saline edge to the lengthy finish.
