Tasting Notes
Wet stone, white flowers, ripe apples, a touch of honey and meadows. Despite being a bit off-dry, it's well-balanced and still fresh. It has volume, structure and a nice mineral touch.
Tasted during 'preparing' for New Zealand event in TSUM.
Restrained, not simple and pleasant nose. White flowers, flint hints, yellow apple and pear with some tropical hints. Well balanced, good volume, kind of off-dry, long vertical aftertaste. That case when reading about winery and technological process is a little bit more fascinating than the actual result.
