The palate is equally lively, with a zesty lime-driven flavor that is balanced by subtle mineral undertones and a clean, crisp finish that lingers pleasantly.

It’s an excellent match for light salads, fresh pasta, sushi, fish, seafood, especially oysters and grilled prawns, as well as white meats like chicken and turkey and desserts like cakes.
