Tasting Notes

Evolved nose, but still showing white flowers and brioche with a punch of exotic banana. It’s complex, with salinity, petrol and a touch of wild herb. Palate is juicy, but structured. A serious white wine demonstrating the potential of the variety and variation in vintage.

Tasting Notes

Intense lemon aromas merge toward melon and white peach. Some hawthorn and salinity come through too. Great acidity and freshness. Clean, pretty, with a mineral texture and sapid finish. Impressively balanced.
