Crystalline pale lemon colour. Lime blossom, lemon pith and talcum aromatics. Palate fills with lively lemon and lime fruit, grapefruit pith and a crackle of saline acidity. Phenomenal length, some fruit sweetness fills in at the middle but is well balanced by a fine grip at the finish

Pale straw in the glass with a flash of green and inviting aromas of Bickford's lime cordial, fresh lime juice, green apple sorbet and grapefruit. Hints of crushed quartz, Christmas lily, citrus blossom, almond paste, ozone, lemongrass and makrut lime. There is a beautiful tubular, porcelain palate shape here, slickly focused and precise with a slight ache of umami as the wine tears across the tongue like a limey Shinkansen, finishing long, dry and beautifully balanced. Drink 2024 - 2038.

A mild summer has defined a particularly enduring Julius. The delicacy of its lifted apple blossom fragrance is gorgeous, heralding a palate of classic lime and granny smith apple purity of considerable concentration. Cool season acidity traces a long finish of structured focus and long-term potential. Drink 2024 - 2049.
