375ml bottle. Cloudy, dark yellow-ish, golden colour with small to average, frothy to creamy, moderately lasting and lacing, white head. Vinous fruity, mildly funky and woody aroma, notes of white grapes, oak, a touch of mustard seed, pear.. Taste is mildly tart, tangy, vinous fruity and slightly woody, notes of mustard seed, pear, gooseberry, some kiwi fruit, white grapes, a touch of white balsamico. Slightly oily, watery texture, smooth and soft, minimally astringent palate, medium to fine, soft, mildly prickly carbonation. Rich and complex, balanced, relatively mild - very nice.
