A fascinating white, poised between Atlantic freshness and creamy, almost autumnal, richness. Such complexity on the palate: notes of gunflint, lime and green apple sit alongside pear and apple fruit, with citrus freshness and salinity: like a squeeze of fresh lemon on an oyster - which would be a good pairing, along with any kind of seafood.
