A pale, silvery green in the glass. Aromas of grapefruit, green plum, apple, cut grass, lime leaf and sorrel. More restrained in style than it\u2019s Rapaura neighbours, and with a mineral acidity that delivers a brisk linearity through the palate.

A pale lemon-green in the glass. A little shy on the nose, but with a good swirl, you get a bouquet of lemon peel, apple, peach, chestnut and nougat.

Agile, light-footed and bright into the palate. Acidity sets the tone &#8211; oak and tannin are just whispers in the shadows. A fruit-forward crunch but also well-balanced and smooth.
