Clean and light with good acid. A great compliment to the pork chops we had with dinner. Lots of citrus (especially lemons) and hints of grass. Long-ish finish with some great pucker from the acid. Would certainly buy more...

Somewhat contained on the nose, it doesn't really open up fully and carries a faint overtone of yeast reminiscent of some S Afrian SB's
On the palate a fairly long blend ofkiwifruit and some mandarin. A restrained style, lacking a little in acidity, lacking a little in fruit....pushing the boat out a little on both would have made it a lot more attractive. In a word, for my taste, repressed. I'll see what it's like tomorrow
A day in the refrigerator resulted in more life on both the nose and palate, giving more of the zing I expect from SB
