Mineral notes and citrus. Distinctive and fairly complex. Paired well with fish chowder.

The wine is clear and bright with a pale lemon colour.

The nose is clean and developing, displaying medium(+) intensity aromas of citrus (lemon peel), green fruit (ripe green apple, fresh pear), stone fruit (fresh apricots) and pungent spices (white pepper).

It is dry in the mouth with a medium(+) refreshing acidity. It has a medium alcohol and a medium body. It has medium(+) intensity flavours ofcitrus (lemon peel), green fruit (ripe green apple, fresh pear), stone fruit (fresh apricots) and pungent spices (white pepper). The finish is medium(+).

It is a very good quality wine. It has enough fruit concentration and a persistent finish, and it shows a nice overall balance. On the other hand it could be more complex.

Picked this one up after it was left behind at my folks after Thanksgiving. Pale straw yellow. Aromas of citrus, honeysuckle, and apricot. Floral notes. Light to medium bodied and not overly acidic. Palate of of lime, and apricot accented with distinct and balanced minerality. Balanced with a medium finish. Pair with seafood, chicken, white pasta dishes. Quite enjoyable. 88
