Pale intensity and lemon colour in appearance. Medium plus intensity on the nose with aromas of tropical fruit including passionfruit, mango, and lychee, as well as wet stones and a hint of grass and green bell pepper. Youthful in its development. On the palette, sweetness is dry, acidity is medium plus to high, alcohol is medium and body is medium with a pronounced flavour intensity. Flavour characteristics include tropical fruit, more specifically mango, and citrus including lemon, green apple, citrus peel and grapefruit. The finish is medium plus and quality level is good. Can drink now but there is the potential for aging.

Was able to taste ‘17 & ‘18 side by side. Pale lemon with pronounced aromas of citrus and tropical fruits with herb and honeysuckle notes. On the palate flavors of mango, melon and grapefruit with lemon citrus and herbs, vivid acidity. Medium+ finish ending with a crisp mineral citrus tang. Nice! ‘18 a bit fresher and crispier. Tasting Sample.
