Tasting Notes:

Nose:
Aromas of orange peel and tangerine rise quickly, creating an energetic first impression. Floral notes of rose and jasmine weave through the citrus, adding elegance and lift. A subtle herbal tone lingers underneath, hinting at sage and dried blossoms. The bouquet feels expressive, almost perfumed, yet never overwhelming. Each swirl brings out deeper layers, making the nose feel wonderfully dynamic.

Palate:
The palate opens with bright citrus flavors that feel crisp and invigorating. A gentle tannic grip adds texture, giving the wine a tactile, almost tea‑like quality. Stone fruit notes appear mid‑palate, offering hints of peach and apricot that balance the citrus. Herbal undertones add complexity, grounding the fruit with savory nuance. The acidity stays lively, keeping the wine refreshing from start to finish. It’s vibrant, layered, and quietly captivating.

Finish:
The finish lingers with citrus zest and soft spice, fading slowly but with intention. A touch of minerality emerges, adding clarity as the flavors taper off. Floral notes echo gently, creating a delicate afterglow that feels both soothing and memorable. The wine leaves a clean, refreshing impression that invites another sip. It’s a finish that feels graceful, steady, and beautifully composed.

Food Pairing:
Pair this wine with grilled octopus dressed in lemon and olive oil. It shines alongside spicy Thai curries, where its texture complements heat and aromatics. A citrus‑herb chicken brings out its floral and savory notes beautifully. For a vegetarian match, try roasted carrots with tahini and sesame.
