Tasting Notes

Colour

white wine

air Nose

bang, it’s Mad-Maxesque indeed, starting a little spirity, getting then supremely coastal and chalky, with almost no wood in the way (not to mention wine) and bags of lemons, green apples, and even oysters. Pretty prototypical Highland Park totally au naturel. With water: earth, leaven and porridge up. Sour bread, and just a touch of latte

restaurant Palate

but what a distillate! Sharp, lemony, chalky, sooty, slightly smoky, salty, and marginally bready/yeasty. A touch of chocolate, perhaps, and a good maltiness. Roasted malt. With water: bingo! Lemons, citrons, brine, chalk, some kind of mineral smokiness… What more does the people want?

timer Finish

rather long, very clean, precise, refreshing, and calling for more
