“Layered zesty and savoury finish makes this quite unique.” James Suckling

It has a pale lemon sheen, with profound citrus, floral and tropical notes. Suggestions of mandarin zest and ruby grapefruit flirt temptingly with snippets of frangipani, orange blossom, pineapple, and mango. A lick of flinty minerality completes the allure. The palate is vibrant and energised, with layered citrus, racy acidity, and a hint of spritzig giving a zesty, lemon sherbet mouthfeel. Elegant and stylish with unobtrusive sweetness, the wine tapers into a steely, honeyed finish that leaves a lasting impression.
