Delicious skin contact ribolla. Citrus (& peel), minerality, good acidity. Held up nicely over a few days.

Seriously tasty. Dried apricot and pineapple. Had a little funk upon opening but blew off in about 30 minutes. Really evolved in the glass as the temperature rose.

Lemon peel, beeswax honey nose. Serious white wine. Needs a bit more time to unlock the palette fully.

Love the freshness this year from having been whole cluster pressed rather than skin fermented. Still, nice texture.
