A green-flecked star-bright straw yellow ushers in fragrances of peach and acacia blossom mingling with Rennet apples and pear-like white-fleshed fruits. Invigorating freshness and a vibrant, caressing mouthfeel are framed by persistent streams of tiny bubbles that prolong and expand the rich array of sensory perceptions on the palate.
