Bright lemon yellow. Aromas of lime and lemon, grasses, wet stone, very much in the style of the Sauvignon Blanc from the Loire in France. Medium-bodied, silky, with lively but not exaggerated acidity, denoted by a citrus sensation mixed with very subtle aromas of vegetables. Long mineral finish. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
