A Symphony of Flavors and Aromas

With a slightly paler hue, this wine opens with a discreet bouquet of sweet citrus oil, white flowers, and oyster shells, evolving into a palate that is both medium to full-bodied and satiny smooth. The electric spine of acidity provides a vibrant backbone, while flavors of white apple, fresh pear, and bitter lemon dance across the tongue. The finish is beautifully mineral, with a persistent complexity that lingers long after the last sip.
