Enticing and complex nose that includes mouthwatering tree fruits, citrus, fresh beeswax, crisp blooms, and rich, toasted oak and browned biscuit. The palate is textured, complemented by an underlying minerality and high-tension acidity. There is a slight smokiness from the stony soils that melds in beautifully. Pair with halibut, chicken, lemon and ricotta pasta.
Aged 11 months in French oak barrels (34% new). Only 700 cases produced. Sustainable farming practices and family-owned winery.
