Tried another bottle, much better. Pale lemon with fresh fruit aromas of tropical and citrus fruits with wafts of herb mineral notes. On the palate flavors of peach, apple and mango, ok acidity and balance on medium finish ending with bright mineral character.

Bad bottle, corked, wet cardboard, not pleasant. Returning for replacement and I’ll will report back if any better.

Off the grid. Great eye opener. This is crisp and refreshing with serious depth. Can taste all those crustaceans !

Delicious. Medium + body, whole milk texture, great acid punch on the finish. Reminds me of the White Rock Chardonnays in Napa.
