TASTING NOTES
Mediumbodied, refreshing and easy drinking. Peach, citrus and nettle
followed by lemongrass. On the palate a pronounced briny salinity leads into
flavors of grapefruit, lemon and passion fruit. The palate showcases nice
mouthwatering acidity and nice structure. Pairs well with seafood dishes like
mussels, shrimp and lobster cooked in “buzara” style.
