The palate is fruity, juicy, fresh, mineral and offers good definition and juiciness. On the palate, this wine expresses notes of juicy/pulpy peach, pear, and small notes of quince, juicy/tangy kumquat, combined with small touches of exotic fruit, as well as hints of verbena and a subtle, almost acacia-like touch. A wine offering nicely roundness, a buttery side, delicate and fresh in the background. A subtle iodized hint in the background.
