Bottle picked up at the Westhill Service Station. It pours clear rich golden - orange with a small fizzy white head. The aroma is sweet - sour, bright crunchy apple, vinous, white wine, lime sherbet, gooseberry, soor plooms, lemonade, subdued funk and oak. The taste is crisp, dry, crunchy apple, tart, puckering, zingy, minerality, vinous,white wine, sour plum, juicy gooseberry, touch of citric acidity, slightly lactic and a dry, oak finish. Average body and fine, spritzy carbonation. Classy, flavourful and balanced. Like a dry white wine.
