Apr 26th, 2020Faint notes of the classic petrol on the nose. Mouth watering acid and juicy lemon curd on the palate. 12%. Slightly off dry initially but finishes dry and lengthy.

Jul 10th, 2018Starts out fresh and crisp, but botrytis notes of chamomile and ginger start to creep in. This wine is messing with my mind. So many complexities. Intense and lightly fragrant but rich and captivating.

The minerality is pretty and gentle while the acid is perfectly mouth watering. Really classy wine.
