Signature lively, lightly sparkling whites with signature notes of citrus, green apple, white flowers, fresh herbs and a saline touch, thirst-quenching, low-alcohol palate — the sunshine wine par excellence.

The word of the wine: Consistency
In tasting, it is the equivalent of chewing (the chewiness of a tannic red wine is also mentioned). We then speak of firmness, fluidity, softness, hardness, and why not the crunchiness of an early wine by reference to the grape.
