Elgin’s cool conditions allow for slower ripening and naturally bright acidity, helping the wine retain clarity and aromatic lift. Careful cellar handling and restrained oak influence contribute texture without overwhelming the purity of the fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"800\" data-end=\"1261\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1312\" data-end=\"1361\"\u003eColour:\u003cbr data-start=\"1323\" data-end=\"1326\"\u003ePale straw with a light green tint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1312\" data-end=\"1361\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1363\" data-end=\"1519\"\u003eNose:\u003cbr data-start=\"1372\" data-end=\"1375\"\u003eLifted aromas of elderflower, Meyer lemon, lime and mandarin peel lead the nose, followed by hints of pear, fresh herbs and subtle creamy notes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1363\" data-end=\"1519\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1521\" data-end=\"1844\"\u003ePalate:\u003cbr data-start=\"1532\" data-end=\"1535\"\u003eClean, linear and energetic, with citrus-driven fruit balanced by taut acidity and a lightly rounded texture from the Sémillon component.
