Brilliant water like colour with a light greenish tinge, especially around the edges and a watery hue. Citrus and crunchy green apple scents are followed by some lime and mineral. Light and fresh the palate has zesty flavours of crunchy green apple and citrus alongside some light lime nuances with a crisp dry steely mineral infused finish. Aftertaste of citrus, lime, green apple and mineral.

Other Reviews….
Grass, lemongrass and a faint hint of talc; a generous palate with ripe Meyer lemon fruit and a faint echo of stone fruit, its generosity achieved without the loss of finesse or length. It is one of those uncommon semillons that will be equally enjoyable through its long life, however much complexity it will gain with age. Taste the '06 and you will understand its future. Drink by 2028.
