Brilliant golden hue. The citrus notes of lime are enlivened by hints of bergamot, linden, helichrysum, rock salt, and the unripe flowers of the thorny caper nestled on volcanic soil. These aromas are accompanied by iodine echoes and bursts of sea salt that chase each other over a sulfurous and hydrocarbon-like backdrop. The sip is slender, sharp, and savory, almost salty, supported by vibrant freshness. Pure mineral verticality unfolds into a long and persistent finish.
