Pale straw color. Youthful nose with a medium intensity of minerality, citrus fruit and yeast, turning into a distinct smokiness as the wine warmed up in the glass. Dry, medium to high acidity. Medium alcohol. Medium to light body. The palate is very chalky, crystal clear flavors of minerality, almost like a fine Chablis. Citrus fruit and hints of green pear and a whiff of white pepper towards the finish. Fairly long length.
An exciting find. Subtle, yet complex. The long lees contact definitely shows in this wine, adding complexity to its mineral character. I was particularly intrigued by its smokiness, which is quite obvious on the nose and again shines through on the palate towards the end.
