🍷
Refreshing with green apple and nectarine fruits. It has a mineral edge that maintains freshness through the mid palate, alongside juicy limes and a hint of white flowers. Its a delicate style with both oak and Malo playing a supporting role in total harmony with the fruit and it finishes beautifully with a tight acidity line. Its a #fantasticwine of great structure and even though its already 4 years old it has maintained many of its youthful charcteristics and its sure to continue to deliver a great experience over the next decade.
