Tasting
Crystal clean yellow pale. The Kante’s Sauvignon break the boundaries. Very expressive nose minty and zesty, with a wide bouquet ranging from marjoram and tarragon to charmy wet stone. Fresh but velvety with a distinctive flavour of maritime pine. The minerality lingering the palate with the intimate elegance of Kars terroir. |
