Tasting Notes
A vibrant and refined Chardonnay with aromas of white peach, nectarine, lemon zest, grapefruit, and citrus blossom accented by notes of struck flint, crushed stone, and toasted hazelnut. The palate is energetic and finely textured, combining bright acidity with flavours of orchard fruit, lemon curd, and subtle oak spice. A pronounced mineral backbone carries through to a long, precise, and elegant finish.
