At Spy Valley, with the boss Amanda and winemaker Wendy, I discovered this naturally-made lower alcohol wine, from the Wairau Valley.<\/p><p>In a classic style, a brilliant pale lemon yellow, with vibrant aromas of grapefruit, golden apple, lime zest, green herbals \u2013 sorrel and chamomile. There\u2019s a crisp freshness, bright energy and a delicate, not too sharp, acid tension. The palate broadens a little, with sweet fruit flavours of passionfruit, nashi pear, green melon and blackcurrant. Dry, saline, mineral tang, a bit of weight from some malolactic fermentation. The finish isn\u2019t long, but it\u2019s well-rounded. <strong>90pts<\/strong>.
