Think I’ve had this before. Stony minerality, volcanic soil, lemon zest, floral and bracing acid.

Largest family owned winery.

Loads of white peach, big texture.

Controlled fermentation.

Dark straw color. Aromas of ripe pear, lime, white flowers and fresh herbs. The palate features more tropical fruits, green apples, minerals and citrus. The long finish is a bit salty and smoky. Bracing acidity and crisp. Solid value.

Love this wine. Great minerality. Green apple and citrus. Hint of sea salt on the nose and finish.
