Swirl and fresh cut grass, gooseberry, pink grapefruit, citrus, green fruits and minerality envelops the senses.
Sip and the zippy acidity just cuts through the richness of the briney seafood. Well balanced in its intensity and flavors of grass, lemon and lime, crisp pear and green apple, gooseberry and hay as well as flinty minerality. It’s elegant, fresh and so moorish.
