Brilliant water like colour with a faint greenish tinge around the edges. Pronounced lemon and lime scents mix with green apple, wet steel and slatey mineral notes. Crunchy lemon and lime fruits overlay more subtle green apple and orange rind nuances finishing dry with a steely minerality. Crisp mouth watering acidity with a long precise aftertaste.
Drink over the next 6-8 years.
Alc. 12.3%

Other Reviews….
Hand-picked and whole-bunch pressed by Mike Garland in a large bag press. This is every bit as elegant and fine as Magpie Hill Reserve, the flavour intensity and the citrus/apple flavours in a slightly different idiom. It will richly reward extended cellaring. Drink by 2038.
