Spectacular nose - fresh Granny Smith apples and unripe honey melon with a twist of fresh seawater and bitter grapefruit. But there’s a depth and mineral intensity to the nose that separates this wine from the “bulk straight forward fruity wines”. Maybe it’s terroir - maybe it’s “sur lie”? The taste is fresh, zingy and a little savory but everything just “sits right” - no alcohol spikes, tons of freshness, depth and complexity - all seamlessly balanced out with a lovely tart and bitter acidity on the finish.

Perfect maturity. Silky tannins, well integrated wood, spicy but still fruity… Yummi

Fruity nose with hints of sweetness - pretty but straight forward. The taste is bad - sadly
