A pale yellow color with subtle green shades, in aroma it shows soft notes of asparagus mixed with some fruits such as pineapple, peaches and mangoes. Floral aromas can also be distinguished, of vanilla and softly mineral. On the palate it is delicate and balanced, and no one taste is dominant, which makes it elegant and complex. The acidity is in the correct proportion, giving the wine a persistent and very agreeable finish. This is a wine with potential for ageing for some years, since it will gain complexity in the bottle.
