Acidic, would pair well with heavy creme sauces and butter, yet not so fruity (ie grapefruit in NZ SB). Chalk limestone in the middle palate.

Foggy north coast forrest & surf w/o overpowering brine/rot w/ faintest hint of sweet water in the nose. Threatens sweet to begin on the palate, but never arrives; subtle mineral content in the mid palate. Rosewater as the flavor dies on the palate on the back of the tongue with the faintest of orange peel as the wine finishes — 9 years ago
