Current condition

Fresh, bright with good balance of acidity

This wine is a fresh and aromatic white from a moderately cool Alpine region; it benefits from early drinking when its floral and fruit characteristics are most pronounced. Given the grape variety and vintage, it will lose freshness after about 5 years.

Food pairing

Pairs well with light seafood dishes, fresh salads, poultry with herbs, and mild soft cheeses.
