Tasting Notes
Lemon zest, a bit of peach, pear, lime, a touch of cabbage and smoke. And the sea - clearly. The palate is sharply focused with a beautiful structure: saline, high in acidity, long on the finish. Incredible minerality, with a hint of bitterness adding grip. Absolutely top-notch. Incredibly tasty.
