This heady and amber-hued blend of Viura, Garnacha Blanca and Malvasia is oxidative and bright with orange peel and nectarine notes on the nose. In the mouth it really stretches out its limbs with lime, burnt orange and dried pineapple all coming together before a smack of the sea salt and citrus acidity rounds things off nicely.
