Bottle from Marshall's Farm Shop. It pours clear pale gold with a fluffy white head. The aroma is earthy, apple skin, oak, nutty, musty, apple jelly, fragrant, touch of sherbet and soor plooms. The taste is crisp, dry, pleasingly tart, bright, spritzy, lemon sherbet, tart crunchy apple, some juiciness, blossom, vinous, white wine, gooseberry, white grape, refreshers, touch of creaminess and a touch of minerality with a dry finish. Medium body and prickly, effervescent carbonation. Super classy stuff. Nice fizzy white wine character to it. Super impressive.
