Aroma: Intense notes of ripe citrus (lemon zest, grapefruit), white peach, and flinty minerality.
Taste: Dry, full-bodied with vibrant acidity balanced by creamy texture from lees contact; flavors evolve from green apple and saline herbs to honey and petrol sensation, finishing long with volcanic ash persistence and refined oak spice.
A wine with excellent ageing potential which allows for an increasingly intricate aroma and taste
