TASTING NOTES

Pale straw with a faint golden hue, brilliant clarity. Meyer lemon and white peach aromas, layered with subtle notes of brioche, toasted almond, and wet stone minerality. Hints of vanilla and spice. On the palate bright acidity that balances the creamy texture. Flavours of citrus zest, ripe pear with gentle spice and structure.

VINTAGE 2024

After an unusually warm and dry winter, the growing season started 2-3 weeks earlier than usual. Ample Spring rainfall and moderate temperatures were welcome, which evolved into an extremely dry summer, assisting the ripening process, producing higher than average yields but preserving full flavours and acidity.
