Initially soft, with almond cream texture, this wine then comes in with some steely acidity, a tight texture, stony almost. The fruit is green apple and lychee, crisp but with some weight behind it.

A tight wine, the acidity and green pepper character very prominent. It is definitely a food wine, the dry tannins just ready to cut through rich meat. On its own, it is packed with a fruit salad of red berry fruits.
