Wow. Volcanic anxiety in a bottle that somehow seduces you. Green apples and apricot meeting lemon pith and lime zest, all lifted by this mineral core that goes deep - salt, flint, crushed volcanic stone. The texture's the real trick: oily and lightly creamy with this waxy thing that adds dimension without weight. Medium-high concentration, vibrant acid, the finish just keeps going with citrus and minerals. It's crisp but quietly seductive, like the Atlantic Ocean learned to flirt. Paired it with Appenzeller and Gruyère - absolute blast. Those Alpine cheeses with Azorean volcanic tension? Magic.
Wow. This one pulls you in straight away. Ripe green apples, apricot, lemon pith, and lime zest give it a bright, lifted character, while the mineral core runs deep - all salt, flint, and crushed stone. The texture is where it gets really interesting: oily, lightly creamy, with hints of wax that don't weigh it down but add dimension. Medium-high in concentration, with vibrant acidity and a long, citrus-charged finish. It's crisp, expressive, and quietly seductive - a wine with both energy and charm.
