Pale with a green-grey marble shade; viscous in the glass, but - mercifully - only 11.5% alcohol. Bright and luminous. This wine has a lifted and intense aroma of tropical fruits partnered by fresh spice; it smells both ripe and yet also savoury. There is freshly cut pear and just-ripe rockmelon to detect here; Tahitian lime foliage and blossom, late Spring lawn cuttings, red apple and a distant message of wild honey. On first taste the wine's ripe, spicy and succulent texture burst forth before a cleaner, leaner, rainwater-like quality takes over. Hints of dragon fruit and lychee skin; there is pithiness and spiciness hand-in-glove with a racy acidity. One almost wants to slow this wine down, such is breadth of flavour and concentration. Classic honeysuckle and fresh hay juxtapose seamlessly and perfectly. Winery Note
