Tasting Notes
This vibrant wine opens with an explosion of lifted floral notes, evoking the beauty of a blossoming garden. Its palate is rich in fresh green apple, white pear, and a striking wet stone minerality that immediately entices the senses. The presence of juicy stone fruits, such as peach and apricot, is complemented by a zesty, almost effervescent freshness. The finish is long, intricate, and remarkably refreshing, with hints of quinine, grapefruit, and a salty tang, enhancing the wine’s complexity.

The wine's texture is smooth and silky, offering an elegant mouthfeel that carries through the tasting experience.
