  • Shimmering straw-gold. Heady orange, honeydew melon, peach nectar and violet aromas show outstanding clarity and emphatic, mineral lift. Silky and taut on entry, then broader on the mid-palate, offering ripe citrus and pit fruit and candied ginger flavors that are complemented by emerging anise and vanilla qualities. Finishes with powerful mineral cut and sharp focus, leaving a suave floral note behind.
