Tasting Note
Pale yellow; intense mineral (wet stone) nose with ripe white fruit notes. Dry, strict and salivating on the palate with broad mouthfeel and a tight, juicy finish—excellent ageing potential.

Food Pairing
Seafood (oysters, grilled fish), shellfish, sushi/sashimi, roast chicken, pork, creamy pasta, and Asian dishes with citrus or moderate spice (Thai green curry, Vietnamese spring rolls).

Production Method
Organic/biodynamic grapes; long fermentation (often >12 months), malolactic fermentation, 12 months ageing on full lees in large old oak foudres.

Vineyard Info
