A luminous golden-yellow hue, illuminated by clean, vibrant flashes of green.
Ripeness
Harvested at veraison, mid-season, capturing the variety’s distinctive complexity at the very moment of transition.

Clean, light, and fluid on the palate, opening with subtle, elegant sweetness. Complex vegetal bitterness then unfolds, recalling fresh raw almond, turnip, and fresh radish.
