O Produtor, tasting note published in April 8th 2024
Bright citrus colour. Very elegant aroma, combining intensity and complexity. Floral (rose petals) and tropical (pineapple, mango) aromas stand out, followed by citrus fruit (lemon and grapefruit) aromas. Slight mineral notes add finesse to the whole. The palate is dry. Creamy attack with a fine and balanced acidity that gives the wine an excellent freshness. Good mouth flavour. Persistent finish. Very gastronomic profile.
