Straw yellow with green crystal tones. Elegant and expressive on the nose with fruity notes of lime, pear, green pepper, interspersed with
the feeling of intense freshness from Lake Ranco and the Andes. On the palate, rich and elegant with a lingering acidity, mineral notes and a pleasing fruitiness that completely coats the mouth. It creates the feeling of entering the cold and rainy forest in southern Chile.
