  The white rose among the red roses on NZ Burgundian Wine Night… smooth and cultured, minerality according to LJ almost like a Puligny overnight. The full line-up on 25 Nov, my home.

  Pyramid Valley tasting at 67PM with Steve Smith MW. Drank in Zalto Universal.
  Appearance is clear, pale intensity, lemon colour. Legs.
  Nose is clean, medium+ intensity, with aromas of zesty lemon-lime, freshly cut pasture/hay, yellow flowers, rocks and stones mineral background. Developing.
  On the palate, dry, very high salivating acidity, medium alcohol (14%), medium body. Medium+ flavour intensity, with flavours of very salty stones minerality, racy zesty citrus lemon-lime. Very long salty finish with rapier-like precision.
  Excellent quality. My type of Chard. More about minerality and precision than showy fruit. Good things for sure with more age.
