A hint of breadiness gently weaves through aromas of ripe Courtland apple and lemon-citrus on the nose; just off dry with remarkable acidity, the palate is medium bodied with a fine mousse and slightly creamy texture up front, refreshing yellow grapefruit flavours and yeasty overtones in the middle and a long, citrus-laced finish.
