Sean Wallner - WSET II

A slight tingle on the palate followed by some apple and lime. There's also some slate and seashell to it with a long beautiful finish.

Very nicely structured. Honeydew and petrichor on the nose. Saline minerality is dominant on the palate. You have to search for the acidity in this wine. I know Mark does 100% malo on many of his whites to avoid sterile filtration and preserve texture; which is excellent in this wine. Don't think I'd cellar too long w/ this acidity level.

Very nice with home prepared Indian food. More ripe and full than expected. A little bit of yeast on the nose. Low acid.
