88/100 45

An impressive wine with a strong mineral salts character together with subtle lime/citrus and delicate floral flavours. Very typical of Central Otago with low pH helping to cancel out the small amount of residual sugar to give a good balance and drying finish. Rather an austere style with good cellaring potential.
