Nose: Bright and briny aromas reminiscent of sea spray and fresh ocean air. Delicate notes of chamomile tea and green apple, with hints of bread dough and almonds from the flor yeast. A subtle undercurrent of iodine adds complexity.
Palate: Bone dry and light-bodied, with a crisp, refreshing acidity. Flavors of green olive, lemon zest, and raw almond dominate. A distinct salinity evokes memories of oyster shells. Subtle yeasty notes add depth without heaviness.
Finish: Clean and mouthwatering, with lingering saline and citrus notes. A slight bitterness reminiscent of grapefruit pith appears briefly before fading to a pleasant, tangy aftertaste. The finish is medium in length, leaving the palate refreshed and eager for another sip.
