    Watery pale, which comes as a surprise as this is boisterously fruity on the nose. Green apples, white citrus, lots of grapefruit, a hint of pineapple and garrigue floral notes. Charmingly chalky on the palate, with lovely concentration, lots of fruit, and acidity that cuts through it all without feeling lean or austere. Floral, charming, exceptionally fruity and beautifully varied. Refreshing and charming.
