    Very pale gold. Slightly reductive white stone fruit on the nose. Pretty white orchard blossom. Vibrant and mineral on the palate, with lots of spritz lifting it up. Mineral, very ripe and nice concentration. Feels overly youthful - the fruit is concentrated, intense and decadent, but straining against winemaking that is trying to make it exclusively fresh and crunchy. Lovely intensity, beautiful green apple crunchiness, classy and serious despite its lightheartedness and approachability. Crunchy, intense, fruit-driven, well-balanced and with great potential.
