Tasting Comment

You feel the flavor of citrus. When you drop it in your mouth, the freshness of citrus and the acidity, Umami spread. You also find the sweetness and the bitterness, minerals in it. You find a lot of tastes and feel it complex. However, they are harmonized very well. The texture is so smooth that you must drink too much. The style is close to that of Soave (Italy wine). You must enjoy this bottle with fresh seafood.

You must enjoy it with fresh seafoods. Oyster is a perfect partner. You can drink this bottle instead of Chardonnay.

Spanish or Italian seafood dish will be a good partner.

I also recommend you should enjoy it with Prosciutto.
