Tasting notes, medals and awards

Tasting notes
Bright yellow pale colour. Clean and intense aroma, with appreciable mineral notes like Iodine and Salt due to our proximity to the Sea. Also are found aromas of Mediterranean herbs such as fennel and thyme, as well as white fruit and peach. Well-balanced, crispy, with a nice acidity that provides freshness and long aftertaste. It is a round and complex wine, specially due to the ageing in amphoras. Its salt and iodine recall the Mediterranean Sea, only 4km away from this plot. Suitable with all kind of seafood such as oysters, as well as white fish. It also matches perfectly with creamy cheeses like Brie.
