Crisp, bright and floral with lime, green apple, lemon blossom, honeysuckle and wet-stone minerality. Slightly off-dry tension balances piercing acidity; long, saline, juicy finish.

Oysters, sashimi/ sushi, ceviche, grilled prawns, goat cheese, chicken salad; Thai green curry, Vietnamese spring rolls, spicy Sichuan or Korean dishes, light seafood and citrus- based Asian salads.
