The bottled wine was then held before release to develop complexity. Luscious aromas of orange blossom, lime zest and hints of beeswax Lively, concentrated palate bursting with flavours of white-fleshed stone fruit, fresh citrus and melon An underlying touch of saline minerality, leading to a long and juicy dry finish 4296 bottles produced
