Nice mineral and salinity on the nose. Lemon peel.

Super supple. Persimmon. A ceiling of lemons. Medium acidity. A subtle sort of gradual acidity. Enjoyable. Medium intensity. Medium to long finish. Stays with you for a bit.

Nice chew. Lasting impression. Not overly complex but really delivers on the lemon oil and white flowers. A bit of persimmon creaminess.

Lemon oil, martini-esque bouquet, olive trees.

Wonderfully lush. Lemon oil, white flowers, fields of daisies, orange blossom water, honeycomb. Not overly sweet, but a nice ripeness to balance the acidity from the citrus fruits.

Lovely

Little petrol, also grassy like fresh cut lawn, cola leaf.

The cola leaf really translates to the palate. Racy, medium to high acidity, a bit of zucchini almost, this sort of light herbal/vegetal character. Almost reminds me of mushroom-forward sakes.

Good and interesting in all the right ways…

Superb. Not too much nose. But beautiful light body. Bracing acidity. Very well balanced. Good tannin structure. Drying in a pretty way.

Apparently the winemaker is here. Waiting to chat

After some air, bouquet really opens up. Lemons mist, lavender fields, grapefruit zest.

Lemon oil, clementine juice, minerality, sure. But I’m getting just more of that supple, sunny, citrus and gushing Elysian meadows

Leafy, petrol, white pepper bouquet.

Super traditional expression of gruner. Bracing acidity well balanced with minerality and a strong lemon oil note. Very martini like. Savory, briny, minerality, leafy.

Perfect for a grazing board tonight.
