White characterized by its freshness and fruitiness. A wine with the colour yellow with hints of gold, it is powerful, aromatic with a hint of citrus and gives sign of complexity that confirmes the ripeness of the grapes. Very balanced, fruitful flavors. Good with fish, crustaceans, white meat and goat cheese.
