Tasting Notes

Very attractive to the eye with a nice and intense density, straw and lemon yellow with plenty of light green highlights, a wonderful brightness and silvery sparkle over tight and sophisticatedly smooth legs.For the nose it is generous and complex with an attractive purity in its expression, well-stated and full-flavoured with a nice harmony between the fruity aroma and an excellent minerality which is quite unusual considering its youth.Spring flowers, Granny Smith apples, white peaches, lilies, acacia blossom.On the palate it leaves a sensation of fullness with all of the strength and lively noble temperament of the Riesling grape variety and its region?s river bed clay soil that guarantees its generosity, body and wonderful structure leaving a nice, full and long-lasting finish.
