Tasting Notes
Green walnut, yeast and lemon zest on the nose. On the palate, sublime notes of the purest lemon and an intense saltiness that fills the mouth. The bone-dry character makes no concessions to the racy acidity, the concentrated body seems to reinforce the freshness and salty character.
More about the tastingGreen walnut skin, yeast and lemon pith are subtle but harmonious on the nose. The palate has a wonderfully lifted, soaring note of purest lemon and an intense saltiness that fills the mouth. The bone-dry nature makes no concessions to the rapier acidity and the concentrated body seems to heighten all the freshness and saline nature even more. This is exquisitely fresh and uncompromisingly thrilling, a wine full of character with years ahead of it.
