The colors are bright clear light yellow with white rim thats shows that this is young to be drinkable. Viscosity is low. Aromas is fresh, fruity notes with slight nuttiness. Predominantly lime and citrus fruits with grapefruit character, slightly almond like aroma with chalk and mineral essence. The palate and bouquet shows young and bright wine with ample acidity and fruits. Very fresh and vibrant, friend of mine suggest it should be a good base for blanc de blanc champagne... keep for another year or two to shows it true character. Second tasting after half an hour or more opens up its stone-fruit character like green apple touch. Good for salad and seafood (shellfish) minus the heavy sauces and dressing!
