Tasting Note
Aromas of lemongrass, bee pollen, flint, green herbs, quince and white peach. Electric, tangy and savory palate with tense mineral acidity, dense extract and chewy texture; very long, precise finish.

Food Pairing
Western: lobster, roast chicken with herb butter, creamy mushroom risotto, seared scallops with beurre blanc. Asian: miso-glazed black cod, tempura prawns, Cantonese steamed fish, chicken katsu with lemon mayo.

Production Method
Early-harvest fruit from upper Hyde block; barrel-fermented and aged 11 months in 25% new French oak, followed by 6 months settling in tank.
