The winemaker’s comment

• Nice pale colour with silvery highlights
• The nose is pleasing with aromas of pear, pineapple and wild fennel, with a chalky mineral lift.

Freshness and lightness makes it delicate and wonderfully easy to drink.

Food pairing

• As an aperitif, or with a sauced fish like pike-perch with white butter.
