Aromas of citrus blossom, crushed stones, white peach and elderflower. The palate is almost completely filled with the characteristic salty minerality. Delicate and fine, not heavy nor complicated with wood or winemaking, it carries a lovely transparency and finesse. There’s no shortage of flavour here, but it is ethereal - it dances on the palate, then finishes with great purity and length.
‘Typically tight, pure chardonnay with citrus, floral and crushed oyster shell characters. A fruit-focused wine, with subtle oak and appealing nutty yeast lees influence. Poised and ethereal. Accessible now but should develop well.’ 13.5% Alc.
