Brilliant pale straw core with green straw tinged edges and a watery hue. Aromas of nectarine, pear and citrus intermingle with hints of dried honey, almond and spice. Vibrant nectarine, pear and citrus fruits overlay a delicate dried honey, biscuity nougat and spicy roasted almond back drop. Gently creamed mid palate feel finishing fresh and refined.

Other Reviews…..
This is really energetic with an excellent fruit and acid balance that gives the wine a tangy finish that lasts for minutes. Medium to full body. Lovely depth with sliced ripe green apple flavors and hints of hot stone. Hints of bread dough and steel gives this complexity. Flavorful finish. Drinkable but better in 2026. Screw cap.
