Pale, green-tinged white gold; lovely nose, open and fragrant, smoky slate, peach and white flowers, hints of grapefruit and, amazingly, box tree; quite an unusual profile on the palate too, with very strong grapefruit notes married to untamed 2010-acidity and grassy notes, delivers real tension and excitement however; noticeable bitters on the finish, good length. Quite an non-conformist wine, but the quality of the wine-making is undoubtable. Moderate alcohol (11,5% ABV), total sulphites < 60 mg/l.

A very gentle style, fresh but soft and juicy rather than austere, lovely minerality, hint of aniseed, finishes with brine and flowers.
