Grapes: Loureiro, Pederña
Very pale, almost clear, with tiny bubbles. Slightly sweet citrus aromas, some writers say bay leaf as well and this is detectable. Fairly dry with a firm acidity yet somehow refreshing. Good length and finish with lemon and lime flavours over a background of apricot. Makes for a lovely afternoon tipple and reasonable value.
