Pale yellow with lemon glints, fragrant with ripe fruit over a delicate aniseed floral base and citrus lift, savoury and easy with a clean, long close.

What it pairs with

  • Grilled squid
    Citrus lift and acidity suit a plate of plancha squid.
  • Chicken with lemon
    The wine has enough weight for white meat and the citrus is a direct echo.
  • Green asparagus
    The aniseed floral base makes a difficult vegetable easy to match.
