Nose: Of dazzling, elegant, and seductive aromatic intensity.

Palate: Light entry but with a remarkable structure. On the palate, it expresses itself as strictly dry, boasting a unctuous, silky, and very enveloping mouthfeel, guided by a crisp citrus acidity that provides magnificent freshness. Its finish is long, sophisticated, and persistent, marked by a perfumed aftertaste and that subtle, elegant bitter touch so characteristic of great Verdejos.
