Pale lemon color with aromas of stone fruits, floral, spice and sweet citrus notes. On the palate flavors of apple, melon and peach, with lemon citrus, vanilla and toasty notes. Nice balance with bright acidity on long finish, savory spice with rich oaky mineral ending, very nice!

We love all things ZD.
I find the chard to be voluptuous. Sweet and round, with soft acidity. Crowd pleaser.

We are big fans of ZD, but this producer consistently over-delivers in every way. This displays almonds and honeysuckle on the nose. Palate is dense and sweet. Impressive for the moderate price.

Normally don’t drink in the week, but the abends on the DL platform, and home renovations made me do it your honor!
This vintage is so mellow and consistent.

Bright and breezy. Lovely citrus nose, which glides onto the palate. Hazelnuts and freshly baked brioche mingle with marzipan. Finishes with a kiss of oak and butter.
