Nice dried apple and lemon with some mineral and stone character on both the nose and palate. It also shows some pumice. Medium body. Crisp and layered. Drink now.
Soft and enveloping, this is a textural thrill-ride, seemingly oily at times yet full of zesty tension, blending lemon oils and grapefruit with green apple and salty mineral tones.
Italiaanse witte wijn met de krachtige geur van karamel, eiken en rijp geel fruit. De volle, droge smaak is krachtig, aanhoudend en romig. Heerlijk bij verfijnde visgerechten, kip of konijn in wijnsaus.

Plenty of honeysuckle and sliced lemon with some crushed stone. Medium-bodied with creamy texture and focused phenolics that give beautiful texture and length. Some flint at the end.

This soothes with its silken textures and wave of ripe fruits as a steadily building saline tension saturates toward the close. Supremely elegant yet youthfully poised.
