  Bright pale gold color with green accents.
  
  Initially quite reductive on the nose, followed by all sorts of leesy notes. Then comes caramel, pineapple, papaya and green grass. Very creamy and textured. Alcohol seems to be on the heavier side, but it does fall very good in place with the bolder fruit profile.
  
  Not quite a northern Rhone styled wine (although the name would suggest so), but indeed very enjoyable in its own way!
  
  The bottle itself is incredible; waxed, engraved glass, textured label. How much of the € 25 has gone in to this? Anyway, always fun to open bottles like this!

  A nice, little wine. With good freshness and just the right amount of fruit. I enjoyed it, although it might be a little steep at 20€...
