Nose: A complex and aromatic bouquet of white flowers (jasmine, elderflower), citrus zest, and stone fruits such as peach and apricot, accompanied by delicate notes of almond and wet stones.

Palate: Generous and layered with an elegant balance of creamy texture and fresh acidity. Flavors of ripe orchard fruits, lemon curd, and subtle oak lead to a long, mineral-driven finish with a touch of salinity.
