Very pallid straw hue. An lean, floral yet expressive nose, with loads of seville orange citrus, and layers of more tropical floral terpene notes, peach passionfruit lime. In the mouth, the wine is chalky and taut, with a wind of sweetness through the otherwise brightly acidic fruit. Sometimes it looks sweeter, sometimes drier. Great concentration and a lime juicy finish. Evolves as it opens: give time in glass!

RECENT REVIEWS

“Very pale lemon hue. Mango, grilled papaya and crushed nettle aromatics. Lively and lifted on the palate, it's off-dry with mango and nettle characters through the core. Both airy acidity and drying grip ensure it lifts and drives to an incredibly long and fine finish that sings of precision and purpose. (Sweetness 15g/l).” Awarded 96 points by Stuart Knox, for The Real Review.

“Geez, VS&B know their way around riesling. This is so delicious, so easy to drink, so charming, so compelling. So! It’s green apple crunch, a lick of honeycomb, some faint toffee notes but mostly all the apple, lime, lemon, lemongrass and alpine herbs going on. Squeaky texture, a little juicy too, a sprinkle of sherbetty acidity in the mix, the sweetness a quiet undertow and beautifully set in fresh fruit characters. The finish is a beautiful clatter of fruit, sweetness and cool, minerally acidity. This delivers so much joy.” Awarded 94 points by Mike Bennie, for The Wine Front.
