The wine is at once softer in fruit expression (lees-stirred every new moon for eight months while ageing in tank) but also very reflective of the vintage with its crunchy, green- fruit notes rather than more typical tropical profile.
Tasting Notes
It is refreshingly and surprisingly salty on the finish where the phenolics, high acidity and minerality converge into a crystalline and delicately etched finish. Chromatically (if your palate works that way), the fruit profile this year is more white-green than its usual yellow-gold.
