Brilliant pale straw colour with greenish tinged edges and a watery hue. Intense lime and lemon aromas rise from the glass trailed by some orange rind, talc and mineral notes. Mouthfilling lime and citrus flavours dominate the palate over subtle orange rind. Excellent power and concentration with a dry talc infused finish complemented by some minerality. Crisp acidity with a long aftertaste of lime, citrus, talc and mineral.
Drink over the next 3-4 years.

Other Reviews…
WVR 252 CK. From the Castine and Koerner Vineyards (red dirt over calcrete soils), fermented separately in stainless steel. Light, bright straw-green; manages to fill the senses with its Catherine wheel of citrus fruits, already with great balance and varietal expression. A prime each way bet, now or later. Drink by 2029.
