Lunchtime Friuli lemonade. Light pear, grass & old Clinique Happy (but in a good way) on the nose. Acidic but soft & supple with Meyer lemon rinds, orange and crushed gravel.

This lemony white wine has a character that we prize in all wine, but especially white wine, and that is "wetness." Sounds obvious, but in an age of heavy cloying wines it's actually elusive. Refreshing-ness can also be acid driven, but wetness is different, it's the liquid sensation, part of great sake, and this wine had it in spades, tasting like pure snowmelt and fresh-squeezed Meyer lemons.
