December 6, 2022 - Bottle off the wine list over lunch at Riviera.
Appearance is clear, pale intensity, yellow lemon colour. Legs.
Nose is clean, medium intensity, with aromas of saline, citrus lemon oil, yellow peach, touch of hay/straw, smoked stones with a bit of sizzling butter on it. Youthful.
On the palate, dry, medium+ acidity, medium alcohol (13%), medium body. Medium+ flavour intensity, with flavours of cream peach, citrus lemon with touch of oil and hint of butter, green limes. Saline stones minerality to the medium+ finish.
Very good quality. Overall nicely balanced and quite immediate appeal. Drink now and over next few years.1,415 views
