Tasting Note
Citrus, apricot and white-peach with chamomile and sage; intense flinty/mineral slate and saline notes, racy acidity, concentrated yet refined texture and a long bitter-saline finish with excellent ageing potential.

Food Pairing
Western: oysters, scallops, grilled sea bass, roast pork or roast chicken. Asian: sushi/sashimi, Thai green curry or spicy Sichuan prawns, Korean BBQ (pork belly) — balances spice and salt.

Production Method
Biodynamic farming; hand-harvested Morstein fruit; native-yeast fermentation in stainless steel and large neutral oak; minimal intervention and light sulfur, aged on fine lees.
