Top Notes For
Daniel Christmann CS

*as a note this identified this wine as Ribera del Duero but is in fact Rueda.

Clean and light gold in color with honeysuckle, crysanthium, mellow citrus, fresh cut apple, a subtle wet slate aspect and a hint of cream on the nose. Medium minus body, medium alcohol lead off with tart Granny Smith flavor and a lemon pith that isn't translated on the nose as well. A medium complexity finished with a medium plus acidity leaving the palate well lubricted for the next sip.
