On the palate, the wine is crisp and structured, with a lively acidity that enhances its fresh fruit character. The minerality, characteristic of the En Barbi vineyard, adds depth and a savory quality that balances the wine's fruit-forward flavors. The finish is clean, refreshing, and long, leaving a lingering sensation of citrus and crushed stone.
