  Smells terrific - pungent, stony, mixed citrus and orchard fruits, with an herbaceous note like fresh parsley, and a dash of petrol. Lots of lime juice on the palate, just off dry, with plenty of acidity, and a firm streak of salinity. Good concentration, while staying highly drinkable. Comes across as Kiwi more than German, but none the worse for it. Delicious, characterful, good stuff.

  Screw cap. Lovely, highly aromatic nose is slightly reductive and features earthy mineral, leesy, and petrol notes followed by lime zest, citrus, and floral aromas. It has lively, vibrant acidity on the medium+ bodied palate with fine concentration. Nicely textured with citrus, floral, and apple flavours. There's some sweetness, but it is relatively hidden due to the high acidity. Apple, floral, and stony mineral notes linger on the long, lip-smacking finish. Lovely!

  The medium-high intensity nose reveals lime zest, pear, floral, and citrus aromas with a kiss of petrol. It is medium-full bodied on the palate with good fruit concentration and fresh acidity that hides the lovely, medium-dry (slightly sweet) aroma replays on the flavour profile. Closes with excellent length on the lip smacking finish. Score: 90+ pts
