A captivating expression of Chenin Blanc, offering an intricate bouquet of ripe pear, quince, green apple, lemon zest, white peach, and citrus blossom, intertwined with delicate floral notes, wet stone, and a distinctive smoky mineral character derived from the vineyard's volcanic rhyolite soils. Layers of chalk, subtle honey, and citrus oil unfold seamlessly toward an exceptionally long, vibrant finish.
