Nose: The aroma profile is vivid and focused, with notes of citrus blossom, green apple skin, and crushed oyster shell. With air, more complex notes of white peach, lemon curd, and a delicate touch of hazelnut emerge.
Palate: On the palate, the wine is lively and clear with a racy backbone of acidity. It features flavors of Meyer lemon, tart pear, and flinty minerality. A gentle creaminess on the mid-palate is from extended lees contact, rather than overt oak.
Finish: This is a sharp, mineral-driven white with firm acidity and impressive precision, length, and depth for a regional bottling.
Serving: This wine is best served slightly chilled to bring out its crisp acidity and mineral qualities. It pairs well with seafood, chicken, creamy pasta, and soft cheeses.
