Peach with a hint of tangerine, but with a minerally focus, this is great as an aperitif or with fish. Great value.

Ripe, some heat (this is not chilled), vaporous. Feels plenty fresh, white fruits and chunkier (less ripe) pineapple, some salinity. Mildly spicy. Fresh and vital attack, greater sense of richness in the mouth, plenty of tang and super intensity. Sappy and stimulating, on the light side of medium-bodied. Very good intensity.

Clean, crisp and fresh. Very clean. White fruits, delicate citrus, a hint of Asian pear. Great purity. Barely medium-bodied, showing a rich core, a lovely tang and super acidity. Great clarity, white fruits a hint of pineapple (maybe), lovely texture without being at all fat. Some tension here, mineral grip and properly dry.
