Very light golden yellow. Lots of white fruits on the nose such as white peaches with a little green apple. Little bit of acidity or sourness comes through. Light gooseberries too. Tangy on the palate with some green apples and moderate acidity (6/10) that restrains the sweetness of the apples. Light bodied and moderate dry finish. Drink till 2018.

Crisp and simple. Eat drinking, not much complexity artistically or on the palate.

Crisp, fresh, lively. Crisp apple, lemons, peach tones, subtle white florals balanced a core of minerals
