May 13, 2015 - The wine is clear and bright with a pale lemon colour.
The nose is clean and developing, showing medium(+) intensity aromas of citrus (lemon, lime juice), green fruit (green apple), herbaceous (fresh grass) and hints of generic white flowers.
The wine is dry with a medium(+) refreshing acidity. It has medium alcohol and a medium(-) body. It has medium(+) intensity flavours of citrus (lemon, lime juice), green fruit (green apple), herbaceous (fresh grass) and hints of generic white flowers. The finish is medium(+).
It is a very good quality wine. It has a persistent finish and concentrated flavours that balance the fresh acidity. However a better example of this style would be more complex.
Can drink now, but it has enough acidic structure and fruit concentration to develop some tertiary aromas over the next 2-3 years.
