Buzzy nose, citrus and green apple. Sweet and sour, lively - an initial burst of fresh fruit makes way for creamy and slightly honeyed tones giving a sense of straightness but weight too. Lemon, peach, apricot - lots of wet stones, graphite and chalkiness. Easy and approachable with a bit of bitter toast and grapefruit skin that elongates the length. Ageing 10% new oak. 3.4pH. Yield of 49.48hl/ha.
