Pale straw with a green hue. The nose has a sea spray freshness. Grapefruit, pear, & white nectarine notes are complemented by hints of jasmine, lemon sherbet, smoky hazelnut, nougat & brioche. Medium-bodied in weight with fleshy stonefruit flavours driving the palate. Fresh lemon/lime acidity provides line & tension; the saline finish is crisp & persistent. Try this with Lemon thyme roast chicken with bread sauce stuffed onions & French peas or wild mushroom risotto
