Tasting Notes

The nose has multiple layers with notes of orange blossom, daffodil, lemon, quince, cardamum, apricot, and wax bean that leads into a racy and vibrant palette with generous acidity. Grapefruit, green apple, and lemon shine with a touch of salinity that leads to a fresh, bright finish.
