Fresh acidity, pronounced minerality, centered creamy apples, lemons, and apple blossom. Smart polished style and body. Seems almost effortless. 14.5% alcohol is shocking. No heat whatsoever. Palate stays clean and covered without getting fatigued.

Pears and citrus on the scent with not a good taste on the tongue.

Yellow gold color. Medium tears. On the nose, stone fruit, green apple, some oak hints. On the palate, grass fields, complex stone fruit, earth. Interesting.

2018 vintage. Balanced dryness, oaky-ness tanin and minerality. Finishes almost like a citrusy Sauternes. Great to drink on its own or with anything with cheese or buttery taste. Very easy to drink. I’ll be buying this wine again!
