Iridescent pale gold. Oyster shell and sea-breeze aromatics on entry lead to bright green orchard ap- ples, white blossoms, lemon flesh and a treacle hit of salted caramel. The Borealis presents deft and athletic on the palate with a creamy, fine-textured mousse. Yellow apples, kumquat and naartjie evolve with a touch of lemon meringue framing an iodine core; taut and true to 2019’s growing conditions, the acid- ity is firm and cleansing, revealing white ginger root on the finish.
