Tasting note
Complexity, vibrancy, creamy...On the nose - mineral, Meyer lemons, nutty, yeasty notes, lanolin, tangerine, honey and vanilla. Similar honey and vanilla flavours lead the palate followed by tangerine, butter, bread dough and lemon. It has a creamy weight, attractive richness and vibrant acidity. It also has good concentration and a slight prickle on the tongue. Score - 90. (Daenna Van Mulligen, winescores.ca, April 15, 2014)
Mineral driven nose with citrus shining through. Cement tank fermentation and aging bring out aromas remindful of the first rain of the season or a wet rock. Soft and round entry with an acid backbone informs you these grapes are grown in a cooler climate. Mid palate reveals ripe fruits such as lemons, gooseberry, and grapefruit. Finishes dry while the acid comes and goes in a balanced fashion.
