Green/gold in color, clear and bright.  The nose has limes, apples, and minerality.  Light bodied with a slightly oily texture.  Good acidity.  On the palate, slight limes, more apples with an interesting green olive note on the finish.  This is refreshing and drinks well on its own.  It will also work nicely with foods.  Salads of all kinds, but would be nice with pasta with a cream sauce.  Drink over the next few years.
