James Suckling, 92 Points 

"Still quite leesy from long sur-lie maturation, but with a bit of air, bright lemon zest and sliced pear fruit, plus a whiff of vanilla open up. Excellent balance of substance and apple freshness, the textural complexity binding these things neatly together. Lovely freshness at the finish." 

Winemaker Notes: 

"Pale green-yellow with aromas of fine fresh apple fruit, honey melon and a hint of wild herbs. Juicy on the palate with elegant texture, there is discreet acidity and white tropical fruit flavor. Fresh citrus and minerality on the pleasant finish."
