Crisp and refreshing with a light yellow colour and greenish tints. On the nose, Rkaes captures notes of citrus blossoms, grapefruit, a core of stone fruits, aromatic herbs and acacia blossoms; freshly cut grass from the lees adds to the complexity of the nose. Superbly balanced and structured, medium-bodied, smooth and zesty, citrus acidity with mineral characters and fresh-snipped greens, white peach, lime with hints of yellow fruit and green herbs.
