The nose is immediately appealing with baking spice, custard, mandarin, peach, and citrus. Flinty notes are also present, along with honeysuckle and freshly cut apple. The palate is bright and vibrant, with lots of ripe fruit to balance the acid that gives the wine drive. The warm year has given generosity, but the wine is still incredibly fresh and youthful, with lots of mouthfeel and texture. It is a wine that will benefit from some aging but is gorgeous in its youth, with a long and persistent finish. It is built around elegance and restraint, offering focus and persistence but also capturing the district’s unique terroir.
