Nice. Lots of micro, fine, precision bubbles. Leans just into a soft oxidative style.

Slightly bruised, apple & pear, touch of apple cider, lemon chiffon/meringue, understated pineapple juice, tropical melons, lime zest, white stone fruit, fluffy whipped cream, bread dough, white spice, some oyster, sea fossils, crumbled limestone, sharpe toned, chalk powder, white spice, dry top soil layered over the top, excellent acidity, nice, round, evenly tensioned, well balanced, elegant finish that lasts two-minutes and lands evenly on fruit & earth.

Delicious and perfect with ME/NS/PEI oysters on the half shell. The brininess matched the wine's fruit and acid very well.

Wild, vinous, and much like Chablis once the bubbles have subsided a bit.

Super acidic and mineral driven. Long, balanced finish. Perfect for a kids birthday party.

This wine is amazing in how it changes (in a good way) after opening.
