Tasting notes:
A clear bright wine with a green tinge. Intensely aromatic classic nose with nectarines, tropical fruit and citrus characters. The fleshy yet lively palate has a lovely refreshing aspect yet it is dry with a bright refined finish. The extended time on lees give the wine fantastic palate weight and texture. Drink within 5 years.
