Taste Review
A bit of a rollercoaster here. The high acidity keeps things zippy and fresh, while the light body and alcohol make it feel like a feather on the palate. It’s dry with noticeable flavors, well-balanced, and carries a straightforward charm. The complexity is… let’s say “unpretentious.” The finish is moderate and doesn’t overstay its welcome—though there is a slight bitterness that lingers. It’s not a dealbreaker, but you’ll notice it.
