It pours pale straw in the glass; there a stony breadth and depth on the nose, that carries just a hint of whats to come: a subtle citrus grapefruit note and an edge of green herbs. Theres a surprising ripeness on the palate, as the fruit comes forward, adding some red and green apple, while the wine retains its stony firmness. Really terrific.
