Zesty citrus and yellow apple with green mango, white pepper, bergamot and peony; toasted oak, crushed almond and saline minerality lead to a long, savory finish.

Hand-harvested; fermentation with indigenous yeasts and spontaneous malolactic; aged 12–15 months in used oak barrels on fine lees with minimal intervention.
