Colour: pale green colour Aroma: Fresh, zesty aromas of citrus, tropical fruit and a hint of musky perfume displayed. Palate: Crisp, bright and fresh with the zingy acidity balancing the attractive core of fruit salad flavours very nicely.
Independents Note
:There is a lot happening on the nose with tropical fruits, lemon and lime very much to the fore. The palate feels sweet a lush mix of flavours the richness underpinned and nicely balanced by a racy freshness. Derek Smedley MW 89 points
