      Tasting notes :

      A bright pale straw-yellow wine with light gold accents. Clean and bright with good weight though still with a lightness of touch, with generous poached pear notes and a touch of acacia and wild marjoram. It's completed by fine acidity and a little complexity and salinity on the finish. Harmonious and drinkable introduction to the Ribolla grape from the Brda hills.
