This is made in micro amounts, from a single vineyard in the High Eden sub region. Bursting with white florals, freesia and Gardenia there are freshly sliced green apples, nashi pear and backyard lemons. Acidity is bright and carries a hint of soda water salinity, laser like in direction the wine is bone dry with some pomelo pith texture. A wine with intention and perfect for cutting through white meats or sweet scallop flesh. Drink now or cellar for another decade.
