Pale-gold Chardonnay with white flowers, green apple, pear and subtle anise; toasted-almond notes, crisp minerality and saline drive, creamy mid-palate and a clean, medium-length finish.

Production Method
Hand-harvested; barrel-fermented with native yeasts; ~12 months in French oak (≈20% new), then finished in tank; minimal-intervention, organic/biodynamic practices.
