Lime and minerals. Super focused and worth thinking and analyzing but very pleasant too. Improved over the course of three days. Value piece.

Note to self: a nutty, round gem of a wine with a varietal that sounds like a place.

Clear pale lemon color and dry with light body and high acid. Clean low intensity nose with floral and citrus notes and notes of honeydew melon, minerals and a hint of oak on the palate leading to a crisp medium length finish. Delicious and great value.
