Tasting Notes

straw
air Nose
much closer to a classical Ord style, that is to say full of light, subtle waxy tones, damp hay, hessian cloth, clay, muesli and white flowers. A few stone fruits as well such as lychee and apricot. Lemon peel and heather ale as well. Really lovely. With water: lemon cough drops, fabric softener, sandalwood and sort of coastal side step. Becomes floral, very fresh and much more easy going with water
restaurant Palate
rather dry and mineral. Notes of petrol, more hessian, camphor, coal dust, oatmeal, earthy turmeric and waxy canvas. Very pure and quite punchy - a taught and well-textured Riesling. Some lime zest and mustard powder. A bit challenging in some ways but great at the same time. With water: ahh! Bigger, easier, more emphatic and singular with this big, flabby, luxurious waxiness. Petrol, dry aged cider, light ointments, a lick of lighter fluid and baking soda
timer Finish
Long, lightly earthy, sooty, oily, waxy and with quite a bit of lemon peel and lanolin. Even a bit of raw grist and sweet wort
