The wine is packed with freshness and hints of minerality, followed by fresh, ripe pears, honey suckle, orange peel, apples and honey.
The palate is linear and features a tight minerality, with a creamy, fruity finish of great length.
The oak is well integrated and provides the perfect structure for the fruit components of the wine. This wine is drinking well now, and can be enjoyed with two to three years of further cellaring (and more) after vintage.
