Awards/Ratings
Elegant floral bouquet…'). Retail tasting notes and James Halliday commentary highlight wild‑yeast oak fermentation and textural complexity

Tasting Note
Elegant floral and herbaceous aromatics with citrus, passionfruit and subtle tropical notes. Textured, lemon‑lime palate from light oak and brief skin contact; bright acidity and saline minerality lead to a creamy, medium‑long finish.

Food Pairing
Western: oysters, grilled white fish, roasted lemon‑herb chicken, goat cheese, creamy seafood pasta. Asian: sashimi/sushi, Vietnamese spring rolls, Chinese steamed fish, Thai seafood salads, mild green curry.

Production Method
Wild‑yeast fermentation with some skin contact; fermented in French oak foudres and puncheons, lightly oaked and matured ~11 months; finished under screwcap.
