The nose is full of citrus - lemon, lime and bit of orange, a splash of grapefruit - with some excellent minerality and salinity on the other side of the scales. The palate follows suit, with an acidity level that is nice, but not quite as racy as I expected. Minerals linger on a finish that serves as a lovely reminder of a beautiful sip of white wine.

Melon and minerals from Viura grape. Good with salmon - doesn’t overwhelm it. August 2023.

Substantial limestone minerality lies underneath quiet aromatic surface.
