Claime d'Or Wines

Pale straw with slight yellow reflections.

Clean, ripe, high intensity with notes of canned pineapples, asparagus, green lemon, and grapefruit zest, showing development, stony minerals, good purity of fruit, peppery profile as the wine warms up.

Dry with dash residual sugar, bright and high acidity, lending clear precision, moderate alcohol of only 13% abv, medium bodied with a fairly rich mid palate texture, pithy lemony note, fresher on texture, than nose originally suggest, vibrant, now until 2015
