White blossom and a creamy richness to the nose, aromatic and heady, with lemon zest, ripe yellow grapefruit, and a spicy, herbal edge of green capsicum and sweet basil, lifted by a lick of sea spray. Broad and mouth-filling on the palate, with golden citrus and tropical pineapple slathered on a generous weight, then carrying freshness and fine mineral dusting through the finish. Layered and salivating, with a light, chalky texture and tension that holds the wine neatly in place. Top value!
