Bright straw colour with a subtle greenish overtone to the edges and a watery hue. Elevated ripe pear and dried honey aromas mix with hints of lime, wet stone and faint notions of fresh herbs. A supple style the palate is detailed with fleshy pear, lime and light dried honey flavours which are carried by a stony mineral back drop. Subtle infusions of fresh herbs are also present on the brisk finish.
