Classic gooseberry nose and positively leaps out of the glass. Lots of gooseberry on the palate too with quite a firm core. Just a little over-the-top though; practically fruit juice.
Starting to develop some classic kerosene aromas. Quite a firm palate with citrus and green apple flavours to the fore. Very pure and precise and 'old world' in style. My favourite of the white wines on show here.
Light to medium bodied and unoaked, I think. Lovely pure fruit with strawberry flavours dominant. Could easily pass for a pinot if tasted blind and GV at <£10. Beautiful.

Light crimson colour almost to the rim. Some earth and beetroot on the nose. Light-bodied with barely there tannins. Lovely. Benefits from chilling.
