To serve
Serve chilled in a large glass, so as to let the wine breathe. It is important to let the the first rather confusing notes escape so that the fruit takes over. Our advice is to decant the wine
Trial analysis
Inspiration of wines with organic crianza (flor). But then this is the pure variety. Once past that initial aromatic twist, you get nice notes of lime, flowers and especially briny aromas, typical of flor. Firm on the palate, yet with plenty of fraîche. Also nicely aromatic on the palate with hints of white pome fruit and with balanced acidity. Dry finish with again those typical briny notes. Wine for the advanced!
