Very, very pale pink. Large water white rim. Faintly aromatic, brine dominates, subtle watermelon and white flowers. A dry wine with very light body, medium plus acid offering mouthwatering refreshment, medium plus alcohol 13% gives the perception of spice on the medium finish. Very subtle flavors on the palate, fresh red fruit. So subtle that this wine should be enjoyed alone or as an aperitif but delightfully refreshing. — 9 years ago
