Classic Eden Valley in style: crisp and dry, delicate white floral aromas lead into an intense lime citrus/Granny Smith core, intermingled with steely minerality and a sumptuous, textural mouthfeel. There's a soft refreshing acidity balancing the intensity of fruit and providing the backbone to enable medium-long term cellaring if so desired.
Exotic aromas of Jasmine, Honeysuckle and Mandarin float alluringly from the glass and lead to a texture laden yet delicate palate evoking new season pink lady apples, mandarin with a finely textured finish of mineral bath salts with a subtle edge of refreshing quinine.
Hand-picked from the Ahrens Vineyard. A fine, slatey, zesty wine, high on finesse, but with a fierce whip of flavour to close. - Campbell Mattinson, Halliday
