Pale yellow colour. Fresh and youthful nose seems to be free of oak influence or at least very gently oaked. Quite expressive, showing green apples, pears, wet gravel minerality, white flowers, stone fruit and a slight buttery quality. On the palate, this is medium-light bodied, refreshing and acid-driven, confirming the nose; lots zippy of green apple, pear and mineral flavours. Smoothly textured, yet with a crisp, razor-sharp finish. Nice level of concentration and decent length; reminds me of a good Chablis. I really enjoy the acid balance; this wine truly excites the palate. Best over the next couple of years.
