The Balance V.2023 is a compelling white blend of Marsanne & Roussane, from Chalone AVA, Monterey County, California Central Coast, made out of vines of Hermitage AOC clone in the Northern Rhone, France.

The enticing aromas of lychee, white flowers, lime peel with a rounded minerality hit your nose gracefully. The palate is welcomed peachy, and baked pear flavors with some degree of creaminess. It has an unforgettable long finish with some hints of toasted almonds.

An ultra limited production (6 barrels only), and 100% hand-crafted from its single-vineyard. If you lucky to find it, I vouch for it that you will love it, cheers!
