Brilliant water like colour with a very faint tinge of green around the outskirts and a watery hue. Fresh herbaceous, grassy gooseberry like top notes are followed by some asparagus, citrus and capsicum. Zesty palate flavours of gooseberries and light passionfruit are overlaid by herbaceous grassy characters with a touch of capsicum on the back palate. Clean crisp dry finish. Aftertaste of herbaceous grassy gooseberries, asparagus and capsicum.

Other Reviews….
A 60/40% blend which dispenses with oak. An exercise in what can be achieved with purity and restrained elegance; the flavour spectrum is anchored on citrus spanning grapefruit through to mandarin, tropical fruits spun around the citrus core. Drink by 2017.
