Current condition

Fresh, vibrant acidity with youthful aromatics

The wine's high acidity and moderate alcohol lend it freshness but limit long aging. The dry style and light body suggest it will be best enjoyed within 5-7 years. Over time, primary fruit will soften allowing secondary notes to emerge.

Food pairing

Pairs well with fresh seafood, light poultry dishes, salads with vinaigrette, and soft cheeses
