Acidity

Pale yellow colour with greenish reflections. Nose of white flowers, pear and peach with fresh mineral notes. Delicate, fresh palate, good acidity and light salinity on the aftertaste. A blend of five native Valencian white varieties —Merseguera, Malvasia, Tortosí, Verdil and Forcalla Blanca— that expresses the terroir genuinely.
