Light yellow with green tones in colour. The nose is not the characteristic rueda one: mango, minerals, and vanilla.

Notes:

This wine first presentation is a beautiful gold color with a hint of green, it reminds me of gold, a feeling that is later on repeated both ont he nose and palate.

The nose is delicate bringing some ripe apples and tropical fruits.

The best of this wine is its palate. It offer a well balanced complexity where you get lots of fresh fruits including lemons, apples and green mangoes. A good length and more than acceptable acidity.

This wine goes very well with seafood, creamy and fresh cheeses, light pastas and white fish.
