Reviews
Jancis Robinson
Excellent acidity and drive. Spreads all the way across the palate. Lime fruit on the finish. Very racy indeed. Great for current drinking. Very ‘cool’. Masses of integrity.

Bright and clear light yellow with lemon tints, white fruits on the nose, fresh pear, peach but not apple, attractively tangy and lifted fruit on the palate, quite broad but very clear and precise, good tightness and lift on the finish with tangy acidity remaining to refresh the palate.
