  30 yr. old vines, native yeasts, fully organic farming. Fermented in vats and then spends 9 months in neutral barrels.
  
  Relatively pale yellow straw. Nose features Granny Smith apple, green plum, fresh hay and chalky minerals, but the fruit is restrained overall. High acidity confirmed almost immediately on the barely medium weight palate, almost choked me first time through. There's a buzzy vein of grassiness reminiscent of sauvignon blanc, light fruits, and a crisp, bone dry, lingering finish that conveys an overall green impression, however vague that may be. i've had this wine before in other vintages and I'll have to check, but don't remember it being quite so tight. Light fare and cheeses for now...
