Complete description

Vintage Description:

Clear and bright with a light gold colour, tinged with lime green. Elegant and subtle, with delicate aromas of lime, green fig and floral notes delineating towards elderflower and orange blossom. Terrific freshness, good fruit concentration and depth, but it remains restrained and elegant with stony mineral nuances. The fresh acidity is beautifully balanced with a mouth-coating creamy texture on the palate.
