Judge 1Good juicy freshness and lift.. sea salty and saline. Fresh herbals and crunch. Has a savoury edge with hint of vanilla pod and rocky succulent core.
Judge 2Palest gold in the glass, this wine smells of flowers and lemon oil. In the mouth, wonderfully zingy and bright lemon oil and citrus zest have a fantastic mouthwatering brightness and a pithly chalky texture. Lean and mineral and bright.
