I'll bet you a dollar that you can't take just one sip.
Don't serve it too cool - Best texture and acid:flavor balance I found around 13-14°C.
A touch gritty/crunchy like most white biodynamic wines.
Flavors really fill the mouth; key lime, Meyer lemons, yeah really citrus but carried on a velvet sofa with an exotic spice finish.

Mind-bending Chenin that is both powerful and lithe, weaving intense minerality and waxy fruit into a gorgeously complex package.

Way too young and with a ton of future packed in.

Light but complex and concentrated. Minerally and saline with loads of acid. Honey on medium length finish.
