A finely textured wine of exceptional quality. Carefully cellared prior to release, this wine has citrus and floral aromas leading to intensifying and developing mineral and lime flavours. Although it has spent two years in the bottle prior to release, the wine still looks young and fresh, and will surely benefit from further ageing.
