View: Straw yellow, clean and bright.
Nose: Complex, but sober entry. Aromas of apples, peach and white flowers.
Mouth: Its palate is a refreshing and pure expression of white fruit (Claudia plum). Substantial and easy to drink. With character and finesse. Vibrant and persistent finish.
It is a very gastronomic wine, 100% Riesling that will go wonderfully if we serve it as an aperitif to accompany cold cuts such as Iberian ham, foie, creamy cheeses such as Brie or a semi-buttery cheese from Son Salom or Son Piris.

It will pair well with starters based on vegetables and pasta such as aubergines or Menorcan-style stuffed zucchini, ratatouille, fried eggplants with Dolçamar honey, spaghetti with fried garlic and shrimp, spaghetti with clams, fish macaroni, nero noodles cuttlefish with marinated salmon.
Perfect to accompany dishes where the protagonist is seafood, from baked cockles to grilled razor clams, through Menorcan-style mussels, a seafood platter, baked lobster with mayonnaise, soupy lobster rice or a fish zarzuela and seafood.
