The aromas range from gooseberries to lime to passion fruit, which brings with it a touch of the exotic. The wine was aged mostly in stainless steel tanks (88%), and in French oak barrels (12%). Due to the short ageing time in barrels, it is ready to be enjoyed now.
The good structure and freshness go particularly well with fish and seafood - and it is also rightly served with dishes with asparagus.
