Certified organic. Brilliant very pale straw colour with a slight greenish tinge around the edges and a watery hue. Lifted aromatics of lime and lemon blossom kissed by a hint of emerging kerosene like characters are followed by wet steel and mineral notes. Very concentrated yet with a steely austerity to the mouthfeel the palate features generous lime and citrus flavours married to wet steel, subtle orange blossom and mineral. Fresh punchy acidity cuts through the palate with razor sharp precision. Great length with a long conclusion of lime, lemon, subtle orange blossom, wet steel and mineral.
Cellar 6-8 years.

Other Reviews….
All the hallmarks of this site are at play with camomile and blossom, the lightness of touch on the palate with its citrus notes, some concentration and texture yet the steely freshness and acidity so pure it creates an ultra-fine and long finish. Drink by 2029.
