"Notions of spiky lemon zest and rounded shortbread vie for dominance on the wine's lively nose. These opposing elements manage to unite on the palate, which fizzes with slenderness and generosity, salty chalk, vivid lemon and mellow, almost creamy apple. Much is going on, drawing you in, arresting and enlivening our attention with purity and verve. ‡ Anne Krebiehl MW"
