TASTING NOTES
- Nose – White peach, nectarine, melon, citrus zest, cashew, hazelnut, flint, subtle biscuit and delicate spice.
- Taste – Medium-bodied and layered with white peach, nectarine, citrus, hints of dried honey, roasted nuts and flinty minerality. Bright acidity provides freshness, tension and precision, while restrained French oak adds texture and complexity.
- Finish – Long, dry and elegant, with lingering stone fruit, citrus, mineral notes and vibrant acidity that leaves a clean, persistent finish.
