Five years on.

Lemon yellow.  She’s Chenin cut to vinyl and the honesty goes without saying, tang and earth and honey.  Just off-dry, she’s up with the morning sun, a crackling wine with transparency and reserve.  Leave it all behind, she says with a winsome smile, and come out to the country where it is quiet.  Now.
