Tasting Notes

The 2023 displays a straightforward nose with light honeyed scents and subtle mineral undertones. On the palate, it offers decent weight with fine balance and a keen thread of acidity that provides excellent precision. Bright and fresh with hints of lemon peel and crisp green apple, this wine finishes on a high note with excellent focus and length.
