Also on the palate: caressing, very delicate touches, flowing movements, everything so fine, the ripe acidity, the bright light yellow, greenish fruit brushes the palate, the fresh, slightly tart, chalky tones like a cool breeze, everything so delicate, so harmonious, there is no imbalance, no urging, no demanding, this is just being, delicately touched, light creamy, and in thought, yet so light. Wonderfully coherent, light Bourgogne Aligoté, of delicate, almost creamy flow.

Imagine a hybrid of Kombucha and Wine: Shows Aromas of raspberries, cranberries and grapefruit, as well as some green pepper notes in the background. The attack on the palate is fresh and light-bodied, with a high acidity that carries through to the end, where it is joined by a salty minerality and slight bitterness.
