Sunny and Ethereal
A subtle blend of pale yellow and white gold in colour, a limpid and brilliant wine.
Initially complex on the nose with floral and delicately-spiced white-fruit notes complemented by a touch of vanilla.
Flourishes on aeration with an elegant "limestone" mineral note.
Persistent.
Fresh and elegant, the development is deliciously mineral and saline.
The finish is long, complex and mineral.
A remarkable and perfectly presented terroir.
