Deep golden yellow with a complex, evolving nose of ripe orchard fruit, preserved lemon and white flowers, layered with toasted hazelnut, gentle spice and subtle smoky notes. The palate is broad, rich and silky, showing ripe apple, mirabelle plum and candied citrus, balanced by vibrant acidity and a distinctive limestone minerality. Toasted and savoury nuances develop with air, while the wine retains impressive freshness and tension, finishing long, saline and persistent.
