Pretty smelling wine, apple blossom, green apple, a slight spice and slatiness..and if you concentrate (or use your imagination) you might smell something like aniseed. There’s some citrus flavours on a crisp, crunchy and juicy palate that comes over as being gentle rather than austere – although it’s in no way a big wine. Slightly grippy textured finish. Good now and over the medium term.

Exceedingly pale colour; citrus blossom aromas announce an initially mouth-puckering (in the best possible way) palate, opening quickly to reveal a zesty lime and mineral range of flavours; the acid profile promises a very long life.
