"Vibrant and youthful, varietal and nicely pungent to promote the aromas of fresh white fleshed fruits and pineapple core, basil and a crumbled mineral stone quality. Crisp, salivating, some saline texture and core of white fleshed fruits and citrus. A rather delicious expression ticking all the boxes of variety, style and origin. Best drinking from 2023 through 2026" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier, Oct 2023

On release it has a pale lemon tint. The nose is an effervescent marriage of citrus, tropical and orchard fruits, underpinned with an herbaceous drive. Lime sherbet, green apple, gooseberry and rock melon are juxtaposed against a backdrop of freshly mown grass, crushed thyme, and a snippet of lavender. In the mouth it is bright and zippy, a juicy and well weighted palate balanced with vibrant acidity and an undercurrent of minerality, leading to a crisp and racy finish.
