Tasting Note

The wine is pale yellow with greenish highlights. A powerful but clean nose, with floral aromas, hints of white flowers, acacia fruit and the typical fennel aromas typical of Verdejo. Really round and unctuous on the palate, with a fatty and lingering mouthfeel and a lovely floral finish.

Food Matching

Best paired with fish or grilled poultry.
