This delicate nose is incredibly complex, with layers of creamy lemon & lime curd, an almost spicy dried herb character and the reminder that this wine predominantly comes from Blind River with the typical, light mineral smokiness. Don't mistake delicate for lacking in concentration and interest as this wine has both in spades, as well as a light funky note that is now becoming synonymous with The Loop. Super vibrant, intense and "big" without being blousy, and an all-encompassing juicy
softness that belies its delicate nose. All of this pulls through to the mid-palate where additional texture is added in the form of a creamy, smoky, slightly edgy citrus fruitiness, which blankets the whole wine. Complex? Oh yes. Concentrated? Definitely. Just so much going on in a glass of this wine, and with a finish that goes on and on and on.

Heady and quite classic aromas of lime, passion fruit and bell pepper lead to a crisp, fresh palate with a lingering dried herbal finish.
