Citrine-coloured wine. The aroma shows notes of fresh fruit, citrus and a certain minerality. Well married, with a slight aroma of barrels where it fermented. In the mouth, it is voluminous, with mineral notes, and a well-integrated and present acidity, which gives it an unusual feeling of freshness in a hot region. It has a long finish.
