This vintage was pressed whole cluster and then fermented and aged in primarily neutral French oak barrels and a large concrete egg. The glass fills with aromas of sea mist, evening jasmine, subtle perfume, ripe lemon, tangerine twists, and white nectarine.
Lavish honeycomb, ripe white peach and apricot, summer flowers and grasses, and a touch of crème anglaise and baking spice. Texturally, this wine is plush, with considerable breadth and depth, and structured velvet tannins.
Aromatically led by peach and nectarine notes and accentuated by blood orange peel, white pepper and oyster shells. On the palette, mirabelle plums, kumquat and lavender are present. The wine has the textural density of red wine and acidic profile of a white. These elements make this wine a dream for food pairings.
Lovely floral red raspberry aromas and pink grapefruit provide a foundation of freshness that is balanced with the warmth of subtle evocations of salt, herbs and vanilla cream. Moderated generosity describes the palate, with guided acidity, rounded layers, and quiet but confident tannins.
