An unusually intriguing minerality lends it a refreshing finish, and its captivating complexity is maintained through organic viticulture methods. Perfect for an intimate summer soirée, this wine pairs exceptionally well with zesty seafood dishes. This luxurious wine promises a memorable experience to the novice and connoisseur alike.

Tasting Notes

Bristling delicacy, buoyed by a noted mineral edge. Poached pear and croissant flavours add warmth and spice.
