Tasting notes
Pale yellow. Very reticent aromas of white peach and ripe citrus fruits. Rich, pliant, rather generous wine with lovely inner-mouth floral lift giving it an enticing coolness. A touch of positive greenness contributes to this wine's refreshment value. At once silky and energetic, this very pure Referts finishes with subtle rising length.

Complex, mealy citrus aroma. Mouth-watering and salty on the palate. Really tight and crisp and with just enough fruit depth to balance. Persistent if not yet welcoming. And just lacks a little intensity on the mid palate. (JH)
