Brilliant pale straw colour with greenish tinged edges and a watery hue. Lifted lime, red and green apple aromas have a slatey overlay with chalky mineral notes also evident. Intense, spritely and mineral laden the palate carries red apple, lime and citrus flavours over a back drop of slate and flinty minerals. Finishes dry and tense with zesty acidity and a lingering aftertaste.

Other Reviews….
Clean, fresh, vibrant and bright expression here. All white flesh stone fruit, citrus, floral things. Palate is cut and chalky, tense and true, long and fine with a powdery fan of fresh acidity to close. It’s an acid hound’s style here, so let the air flow through your hair as you sip. Drink 2019-2023.
