$65, 13.8% alcohol, screwcap, Alpine Valleys.

Wonderful white wine. Highly textural, loaded with character, and powerful in its presentation of flavour. In short, it has quality covered from all angles. It tastes of apple, grapefruit, chalk, saltbush, nectarine and steel, and the way it both flows with flavour and grips through the finish is really quite beautiful. There’s much pleasure to be had here. It’s different in a good way. This is excellent. 94 points.
