89/100 45

Sleek wine in a fruit-focused style with little evidence of oak. Mineral and citrus flavours dominate although there’s also a suggestion of nutty yeast lees characters. Elegant wine with subtle power. Should age well.

Tasted: Mar 2010   Closure: S'cap    Average price: NZD $35 (~USD $29)
