Tasting Profile & Food Pairing This wine displays a bouquet of citrus zest, green apple, and delicate white floral notes, while the palate is crisp and invigorating, featuring flavors of lemon, pear, and a subtle saline minerality. Its light, energetic texture and clean, brisk finish make it a versatile companion for a range of dishes. Enjoy it alongside fresh oysters, goat cheese salad, or grilled shrimp, and it also pairs well with a refined Chinese preparation such as steamed fish with ginger and scallions, thanks to its refreshing acidity and purity of fruit.
