It has a pale color and a young profile that's undeveloped, with some waxy\/lanolin notes—waxy apples?—a floral touch and notes of fresh herbs. It has contained ripeness, 12.5% alcohol, a pH of 3.36 and 5.4 grams of acidity and a medium-bodied palate with a tender mouthfeel. 20,000 bottles produced.
