Tasting Notes

Youthful lime green that will develop in time. Delicate spring florals and lime leaf. Crunchy green apple and crisp, vibrant and distinctive lemon-lime citrus flavours create a juicy and tangy mouthfeel. This wine is almost ethereally light and elegant; its minerality smooths along the palate to a long, pleasing close. Impressively delicious and worthy of at least a few years cellaring, if not more than a decade.
