In the glass
Aroma: ripe pear, apricot, acacia flower, thyme, sage
Palate: stone fruit, minerals, herbs
Medium deep gold yellow. The cool microclimate of the narrow stream valley and the day to night temperature swing give a fruit, flower and herb bouquet, and the marl underneath gives the minerality.
What it pairs with
-
Pasta or risotto with light sauces
Carga name both; the wine's body carries them without oak interference. -
Vegetable lasagne
The producer names it; the thyme and sage notes run with the filling. -
Poultry
Carga name poultry, which suits the wine's weight and herbal edge.
