-
Nose
The bouquet is still a bit discreet and fresh -- it is harmonious, clear and well-stated -
Flavor
Citrus fruits, lemon, mandarin orange zest, hints of lime -
Palate
Richer streaks of stone fruit, wild yellow plum, Mirabelle, and mango behind the tangy lime -
Finish
Pear, kiwi, lemongrass, vanilla bean aromas, slight mineral edge
"In this wine, a hint of lemon zest on the nose is followed by traces of apple and Mirabelle plum. On the palate, this triple notion of fruit unites into vibrant juiciness and lovely balance on a light, bright body. The finish is refreshing and dry." - Anne Kriebehl, Wine Enthusiast, 90 points
