Wine Information
Crystalline bright with a lemon skin colour. Laced with aromas of honeysuckle and citrus blossom, peach skin, pear essence, vanilla and nougat. The palate is rich in summer and citrus fruits, yet restrained by a chalky/mineral thread that provides texture and drive. Subtle support from fine grain French oak adds further complexity. A bright lemon acidity gives length and finish to the wine.
