Cantine Terlan "Nova Domus 07"  Alto Adige 60% Pinot Blanc, 30% Chardonnay and 10% Sauvignon That wine is clear with very little fizziness in the glass which vanish with the time, lovely intensity with short and slow legs running the wall of the glass. Gold color with a lemon green rim. The nose is clean with a great aroma profile developing with time while you are drinking it and I can bet with time, acacia and dried chamomile  flowers, ripe pear, apricot, mandarin, honeydew melon and passion fruit with slaty mineral components. Herbal as sage, dill and fennel finish with some sweet spiciness and kernel, coconut and hazelnut. Dry in the palate with a pleased acidity with very very low tannin some stir lees occur in the vinification  with a great sensation of alcohol with a nice body structure. palate  show all the ripe orchard fruit integrated with oaky characteristic, herbal and spice aroma; smooth and elegant.
