Tasted blind at SDG tasting Clear dark yellow to gold core of moderate intensity out to a wide watery rim. Little development shown - colour could indicate warm conditions, grape type or barrel aging. Clean nose of minerals, wet slate, straw, citrus with some yeast - moderate intensity. Youthful aromas - no oak indicated Dry wine with peachy/lime sweetness on the attack - moderate intensity. Moderate+ mouth cleansing acids of lime juiciness. Moderate alcohol and moderate body. Medium finish with a small touch of alcohol heat and a bit of pink pearl eraser. Touch of bitterness on the finish. Good quality - all the elements are there (acid/fruit in balance) to enjoy now. This is very much a drink now and enjoy wine - an excellent summer sipper.

Citrus and honeysuckle nose. Pears, sweet peas, spice, lemon and pepper on the palate. This become even more pleasing after about an hour or so.
