Description
Upon release it has a pale gold hue. Tantalising aromas of flint and citrus blossom erupt from the glass, spliced with undertones of green apple, kaffir lime leaf and kumquat, swathed in a mineral cloak. The palate is fresh and lively, a rich and textured mouthfeel backed by invigorating acidity that creates a pleasing tension. Stylised, yet oozing with finesse, it delivers a long, focused finish.
