First Impressions

A crisp, aromatic white from Alto Adige, Italy, bursting with citrus, passionfruit, and herbal notes, balanced by lively acidity and a clean, mineral finish.
Italian winemaking is a beautiful marriage of ancient tradition and modern technique, and the best producers capture the essence of their specific corner of the peninsula. Terlan is a name worth knowing in this context.
On the Nose and Palate
The nose offers bright and perfumed with notes of lemon curd, jasmine, white peach, and a saline freshness. Moving to the palate, the wine is medium-bodied and textured, with flavours of lemon, green apple, and a subtle creaminess from lees ageing. The finish is crisp finish with stone fruit echoes and a saline, almost briny close.
Food Pairing and Serving
An excellent partner for grilled fish, shellfish, or a simple salad with goat's cheese. Serve well-chilled at 8–10°C to let the freshness shine.
