Good 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. |
Palest 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. |
fresh and lifted florals. waxy note. citrus blossom. lovely chalky texture, zinggy palate, mineral notes. power persistance and complexity. |
pale straw, lemon lime, savoury, a fresh and balanced wine with slight toast |
