This saw 12mths of French oak, of which 40% new. It comes from grapes grown on clay and "decomposing granite" soils. Bottled under screw cap.
Yellow/green in the glass. Glowing. A distinct hint of fined boned french oak on the nose. Underlying it, very clean, bright citrus notes. With air it becomes more juicy, with a noticeable hint of salinity. Very clean, fresh and zippy on the palate. Citrus driven fruit. Very pronounced acid. Absolutely no rush to drink this.

Canberra Cellar Doors (Canberra Wine Region, Australia): Graphite, mandarin, light oak and pear on the nose. Palate shows restraint with nicely bright citrus fruit though there is an ever so slight roundness to the edges. Finishes with good length.
